Mary, Our Lady of the Pillar,
we give you praise
because you opened the door of the human race,
to allow the coming of your son,
our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
We give you thanks for through your response,
born of a humble heart,
you draw the spirit upon us.
We acknowledge you as the ever Virgin,
Mother of the True God,
who conceived without stain of original sin,
assumed into heaven, body, and soul
and crowned as the Queen of the Universe.
With joy and gratitude, we likewise acclaim you
as the Mother of the Church
and the Mother of us all.
Praise be your name forever.
Amen.
