Prayer of Illumination
(inspired by Luke 1:26-38)
Faithful
God,
you
chose Mary, full of grace,
to
be the mother of our Sovereign and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Now
fill us with your grace, that with her,
we
may understand your ways,
rejoice
in your salvation,
and
embrace your will;
through
Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you
in
the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one
God, now and forever. Amen.
