O apostle of Mary
and so of our Lord Jesus Christ,
to the Lord you drew souls
through devotion to His Mother.
How perfectly you have spoken
of this grace upon the Virgin
and the role she plays
in the salvation of the world –
pray this day
that her sweet protection
and most blessed intercession
will be with all the children
who turn in faith to the one
chosen by the Father
to be Mother of His Son.
May this Spouse of the Spirit
lead us into God’s presence
where with you
and all the heavenly saints
we shall find ourselves one
with the Most Holy Trinity
and sing forever the praises
of our Lord and God.
