Memorial celebrated the Monday following Pentecost Sunday 

Under your mantle,
O Mother of the Church,
O Model of all Christians,
your children on earth seek your
intercession and implore your mercy.
Inspire your sons, the clergy--
all deacons, priests, bishops,
cardinals, patriarchs, and our Holy Father-
to obey your Son and spread His Gospel
with firm conviction, loyalty to truth,
and unfailing love above all things.

​

Guide your children, the lay faithful,
as they carry the light of Christ
to the ends of the Earth: the great halls,
the small places, wherever life is lives.

​

O Mother of Saints,
O Refuge of Sinners,
lead us home at last to your
Church Triumphant where you
reign as Queen of Angels
and Queen of Heaven.  Amen.

IMPRIMATUR:  Most Reverend Jeffrey M.  Monforton
Bishop of Steubenville
Mary Mother of Christ and Mother of the Church
