223 Prayers V. In Your Conception, OVirginMary, Youwere Immaculate. ℟ . Pray for us to the Father Whose Son, Jesus, you brought forth into the world. Let us pray: Father, You prepared the Virgin Mary to be the worthy mother of Your Son. You let her share beforehand in the salvation Christ would bring by His death (and Resurrection) and kept her sinless from the first moment of her conception. Help us by her prayers to live in Your presence without sin. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen. V. The Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Conception, ℟ . Be our health and our protection.
