Happy New Liturgical Year and First Day of Advent

You are welcome to the above wreath here or in the side bar which is smaller.

Let us pray.
O God,
You willed that, at the message of an angel,
Your Word should take flesh
in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary;
grant to Your suppliant people,
that we, who, believe her to be truly the Mother of God,
may be helped by her intercession with You.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
