Votive Mass

Entrance Antiphon (Cf. Acts 1: 14)
The disciples devoted themselves with one accord to prayer
with Mary, the Mother of Jesus.

Collect
O God, who gave the Holy Spirit to your Apostles
as they prayed with Mary the Mother of Jesus,
grant that through her intercession
we may faithfully serve your majesty
and extend, by word and example, the glory of your name.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

Prayers Over the Offerings
By your favor, O Lord,
and through the intercession of Blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
may our offering obtain for your Church this grace,
that she may grow in the number of the faithful
and be ever radiant with an abundance of virtues.
Through Christ our Lord.

Communion Antiphon (Cf. Lk 11: 27-28)
Blessed is the womb that bore Christ the Lord;
blessed, rather, are those who hear the word of God and keep it.

Prayer after Communion
Having partaken, O Lord, of these helps to our salvation
in our commemoration of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Queen of Apostles,
we humbly beseech you,
that, persevering in your will
and in service of the human family,
your people may draw ever closer to salvation.
Through Christ our Lord.
