Birth of Mary

Father of mercy,
give our people help
and strength from heaven.
The birth of the

Virgin Mary's Son
was the dawn

of our salvation.
May this celebration
of her birthday

bring us closer

to lasting peace.

Grant this through
our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son,
who lives and reigns
with you and the

Holy Spirit
one God,
for ever and ever.

Amen

Mother Mary
