O Mother of God, plead for us. Let us pray Ocod, Who, by the fruitful virginity of blessed Mary, hast be- stowed upon mankind the rewards of eternal salvation, grant, we be- seech Thee, that we may evermore experience the intercession in our be- half of her through whom we have been found worthy to receive the author of life, our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. /?.
