| Final Collect and Dismissal | |
|
O Father of mercy and compassion,
You willed that Your Son be born of a poor Virgin
that, in her poverty and simplicity,
the power and riches of Your love might be made plain.
Make us poor and hidden,
Even as Mary was poor and hidden,
So that we may share in her closeness to You,
And praise You by our lives of joy and adoration. Through Jesus Christ ... |
