Sep 12, Feast of the Holy Name of Mary

Grant, we pray, almighty God, to look upon the lowliness of your servants who live and work under the name of Mary; do great things through us, filling us with the spirit of our Mother so that, not seeking our own interests but those of Christ alone, we may lead our fellow men and women to the light of the Gospel.

We make this prayer through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
