God of our joy, Mary’s yes is our source of redemption. In faith we pray: Lead us along your everlasting way, O God.

Fill your Church with gratitude and exaltation for the greatness of your love.

Help us to be mindful of ways in which we may support and assist pregnant women and mothers of young children.

Protect girls and women from exploitation, and help us to secure equality in education, health care, and employment.

Our Father . . .

May God bless us with songs of praise and thanksgiving for all the good God has done for us, through Jesus our Savior. Amen.
