The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church
Memorial
"The veneration of the Virgin Mary has accompanied the path of the
Church from the beginning; Marian feast days began to appear
already in the fourth century: in some the role of the Virgin
in the history of salvation is exalted; in others
the principal moments of her earthly life are celebrated."
Pope Benedict XVI
Prayer After Communion (Today's Liturgy)
Having received the pledge of redemption and of life,
we humbly pray, O Lord,
that, with the Blessed Virgin's motherly help,
your Church may teach all nations
by proclaiming the Gospel
and, through the grace of the outpouring of the Spirit,
fill the whole earth.
Through Christ our Lord.
