Entry
Prayer
To the God of Mary, Who is praised with song and voice, I join her holy hymn and celebrate the things she knew. Through Christ You have brought down the powerful from their thrones. Through Christ You have lifted up the lowly and fed the hungry good things. Through Christ You have made the rich to go off empty-handed. And through Christ You have freed all things from the power and curse of sin and death. Blessed be Your great name. Amen.
