Prayer to the Immaculate Conception

Honor Mary's Immaculate Conception with this traditional act of praise and petition.

The Prayer

O God, Who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, didst prepare a worthy dwelling place for Thy Son, we beseech Thee that, as by the foreseen death of this Thy Son, Thou didst preserve her from all stain, so too Thou wouldst permit us, purified through her intercession, to come unto Thee. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
