Like Mary

Father most holy, grant that, like Mary, we may be simple and humble, poor and chaste, faithful and obedient.

Grant that we may be merciful as you are merciful so that, like Mary the Mother of Christ, we may love those whom your Son has saved in the power of the spirit.

Grant that my word may be light and glory, that my prayer may be silence and adoration so that, like Mary, I may be a living intercession, the praise of glory, and thanksgiving through Jesus your Son, our Savior and our God. Amen.

Rev. Jean Beyer, S.J.
