Prayer for the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

O Mary, bright dawn of the new world,

Mother of the living and Queen of Heaven,

today we celebrate your birth,

the beginning of joy for all the world.

You were born to bring forth the Light of Christ,

to be the vessel of God’s love,

and to show us the way of humility and grace.

Holy Mother, intercede for us,

that we may walk in faith and obedience,

trusting in God's plan as you did.

May your life inspire us to say “yes” to God,

and may your prayers bring us closer to your Son,

Jesus Christ, our Lord.

 

Amen
