O Mary, when you were born the world was made light. In your great love be merciful to us who are often sinners and give us strength and perseverance as we journey through this life. O joyous Mary, just as your nativity announced joy to the entire world, may it fill us with true joy and enliven our hope. Intercede for us, O loving Mary that the gift of your nativity may enliven God’s grace within us and help to say yes to his invitation to love. Amen. (Adapted from a prayer by St. Ambrose of Milan)
