Mother, we listen with particular attention to your words:
"Do whatever my Son tells you."
We wish to respond to your words with all our heart.
We wish to do what your Son tells us,
for He has the words of eternal life.
We wish to carry out and fulfill all that comes from Him,
all that is contained in the Good News,
as our forefathers did for many centuries.
May our ears constantly hear with the proper clarity your motherly voice:
"Do whatever my Son tells you."
Enable us to persevere with Christ.
Enable us, Mother of the Church,
to build up His Mystical Body
by living with the life that He alone can grant us from His fullness,
which is both divine and human.
Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
pray to Jesus for us.
Amen.
First Day
Christ, make me become and remain the servant of Your unique power,
the servant of Your sweet power,
the servant of Your power that knows no eventide.
Make me be a servant--indeed, the servant of Your servants.

Concluding Prayer
We who are standing beneath the cross of the ages, wish,
through Your cross and passion, O Christ,
to cry out today that mercy
which has irreversibly entered in to the history of man,
into our whole human history—and which
in spite of the appearances of weakness
is stronger than evil.
It is the greatest power and force
upon which man can sustain himself,
threatened as he is from so many sides.
Holy is God.
Holy and strong.
Holy immortal One, have mercy on us.
Have mercy! Eleison! Miserere!
May the power of Your love once more be shown
to be greater than the evil that threatens it.
May it be shown to be greater than sin.
May the power of Your cross, O Christ,
be shown to be greater than the author of sin,
who is called "the prince of this world."
For by your blood and Your passion
You have redeemed the world!
Amen.
