Holy Mother Mary, you who from an early age consecrated yourself to the Almighty, accepting from a freedom possessed to serve Him fully as an immaculate temple, you who, trusting in your holy parents, Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, responded with loving obedience to the call of God the Father, you who from the moment in which your parents presented you in the Temple perceived within you the profound design of God Love; teach us Good Mother to be courageous followers of your Son, announcing Him in every moment of our lives with a generous and firm response to God's Plan. Amen.
