"God, our Father,
since you gave mankind a saviour through blessed Mary, virgin and mother,
grant that we may feel the power of her intercession
when she pleads for us with Jesus Christ, your Son, the author of life,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever. Amen."
– Collect for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.
