Mary, Mother of the Living God,
you who held Heaven against your heart,
teach us how to make room.
Teach us how to carry what we do not yet understand,
how to trust when the promise feels fragile,
how to cradle hope when the world feels unsteady.
As you once watched over the Child in silence,
watch over us now.
When fear rises, remind us that God has already come near.
When faith feels small, remind us that God delights in small beginnings.
Wrap us in the same peace you offered your Son—
the peace that knows God is present,
even when He comes quietly.
Mary, Mother of mercy,
help us say yes again…
and again…
and again.
Amen
