Of the Blessed Virgin Mary


ALMIGHTY God, who didst send forth thy Son, made of a woman, that we might be redeemed and receive the adoption of sons : Grant that, beholding what Majesty did become incarnate for our sakes, we may, with all generations, call her blessed, through whom as Virgin-Mother of the Lord we have been thus blest : to thine honour and glory, who livest and reignest in the unity of the Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
