O Holy Tabernacle,
preeminent member and model of the Church
to whom you gave birth…
as you are Mother of the Head,
so, too, Mother of the Body,
of all those redeemed
by the Blood of your Son,
with whom you shared such intimate union –
pray that we be made fruitful
by your intercession,
children of the Lord Most High
and your children,
conceived of the Spirit that overshadowed you
and for whom you waited
with the apostles in the upper room.
Pray we make our home in you
as in the Church
born from the side of Jesus
pierced upon the Cross
beneath which you stood.
Dear Mother, pray we follow you
into glory.
