O Lord our God,
in order to redeem us all
and lead us to yourself,
you sent us your beloved Son,
who was made flesh and
born of the Virgin Mary.

Grant that we may be formed by her
in the image of her Son
and help us participate
in the love of Christ for his Mother.

You associated Mary in the mysteries of her Son, so that she might be the new Eve, Mother of the living.

Confirm the alliance
that we have made with her.
May our devotedness extend her maternal charity on earth,
and promote the growth of the Church, the body of your Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
