PRAYER TO THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
O
God,
who by the
Immaculate
Conception
of the Blessed
Virgin Mary,
did prepare a worthy
dwelling place for
Your Son,
we beseech You that,
as by the foreseen
death of this, Your
Son, You did
preserve Her from
all stain,
so too You would
permit us, purified
through Her
intercession, to
come unto You.
Through the same
Lord Jesus Christ,
Your Son, who lives
and reigns with You
in the unity of the
Holy Spirit,
God, world without
end.
Amen.
