Heavenly Father, today we rejoice in the birth
of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose life would become
a dwelling place for Your Son.
Thank You for the quiet beginnings through which
You accomplish Your greatest works.
Teach me, through Mary's example,
to welcome Your will with trust and humility.
May my ordinary life also become a place where Christ
can be welcomed, cherished, and shared with others.
Amen.
