Father, all-powerful and ever-living God,
we do well always and everywhere
to give You thanks as we

Mary, Mother of God:
celebrate the Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Our Lady's Saturday:
honour the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit,
she became the virgin mother of Your only Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who is for ever the light of the world.

Through Him the choirs of angels
and all the powers of heaven
praise and worship Your glory.
May our voices blend with theirs as we join in their unending hymn:

Holy, holy, holy Lord,
God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
