O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, through the visitation of the angel Gabriel, you revealed to Mary that she would be the mother of your Son. Grant that we who have been redeemed by his blood may share in the glorification of his body. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
We pray for all those who are preparing to receive the sacrament of confirmation. May they be strengthened with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and may they grow in faith, hope, and love. We pray for all those who are suffering from illness or injury. May they find comfort and healing in your love. We pray for all those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. May they find strength and peace in your presence.
O God, our Father, we thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ. Through his visitation to Mary, you have shown us the way to salvation. Grant that we may follow his example and live in love and service to others. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
O Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
O Saint Gabriel the Archangel, who brought the good news to Mary, pray for us. Amen.
O Saint Elizabeth, who rejoiced at the visitation of Mary, pray for us. Amen.
