MARIAN ANTHEM

Blessed are you,

Mother of my Lord,

For you have believed the Word of God.

In faith and love,

You have pondered the Words and actions of God

In your life and the life of God’s people.

With Jesus we call you mother.

Pray for us,

And ask your Son to lead us to the Father.

Amen.
