O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son, we beseech You that, as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son, You did preserve her from all stain, so too You would permit us, purified through her intercession, to come unto You. Immaculate Virgin, by the holy will of your Son my Lord Jesus Christ, you are my Mother in Heaven. Your Immaculate Heart is full of love, mercy, and compassion for sinners like me. O Holy Mary, assist us in our present necessity. By your Immaculate Conception, O Mary conceived without sin, we humbly beseech you from the bottom of our heart to intercede for us with your Divine Son and ask that we be granted the favour for which we now plead.
Amen
Mary, the Blessed Virgin and Mother of Jesus, is revered as the ultimate model of faith, humility, and obedience to God’s will. From her “yes” to the angel Gabriel to her quiet strength at the foot of the cross, Mary’s life exemplifies unwavering trust, love, and compassion. As a mother, she cares deeply for her children and intercedes for us with a tender heart. For families and parishes, St. Mary’s example encourages us to approach life with a spirit of openness, patience, and devotion, trusting in God’s plan even when it’s hard to see. Her role as mother of the Church unites us as one family, inspiring us to support and love one another with kindness and understanding.
