We take refuge under your protection,
Holy Mother of God;
don’t throw away the supplications
that we direct you in our needs;
but always deliver us from all danger,
oh, glorious and blessed Virgin.
LECTOR 2:
Oh God, you who have revealed to the world
between the arms of the Virgin Mother to your Son,
glory of Israel and light of the people,
make it in Mary’s school
let us learn to adhere to the Lord Jesus
and let us recognize in Him the only Savior
of the world, yesterday, today and always.
He lives and reigns forever.
Amen.
ALL:
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
