Mary, our Mother,  

Your total giving of yourself reminds us that we hold in trust from God our Father.   

Your “Yes” to God’s invitation to be the mother of his Son reminds us that prayer is not just words but is from the heart.  

We ask you to pray to Jesus for us that the Holy Spirit may live fully in us, too, so that we may pray in the way that each of us finds best. So may we be prepared to join you in saying “Yes” to God our Father, that Jesus may be born anew in our hearts.  

Amen.
