O God, Who didst vouchsafe to give joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ; grant, we beseech Thee, that, through His mother, the Virgin Mary, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray
O almighty and everlasting God, Who, by the operation of the Holy Ghost, didst in body and in soul prepare Mary, the glorious virgin mother, to be a befitting dwelling place of Thy Son; grant that we who rejoicingly commemorate her may, by her loving intercession, be safeguarded from all the evils that threaten us, and from that death which is eternal. Through the same Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
