God of wisdom, we praise you for the favor you have shown us through Mary and we pray:
Lead us to Jesus, O God.
Deepen your Church’s concern and advocacy for those who are in need.
Help us to honor and respect our mothers and elders.
Lead us to listen with the ear of our hearts and respond to the Spirit in hope and fidelity.
Our Father . . .
As we rejoice in Mary’s feast, may God fill us with the joy of the Holy Spirit and the hope of eternal life.
Amen.
