Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Advent, Day 8 

Image of Ann, Mary and Jesus by Leonardo da VinciMary,

White Dawn, 

you were created and nurtured for nine months

within the womb of a holy woman, Ann

who was unware that she and her husband, Zachary

seeded and raised 

the purest womb that would host

the Child

who brings heaven to earth,

as a gift.

Holy Mary, blessed among all women,

pray for us now,

and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
