Prayer: Prayer to Immaculate Mater Domini
August Queen Mother, Mater Domini, Immaculate Mediatrix of all graces; you are the undefiled Tabernacle of the Incarnate Word. You are the masterpiece of God’s creation, Oh, the Woman clothed with the sun, and the paragon of beauty. We glorify God for the ongoing triumph of your Immaculate Heart in the glorious reign of Jesus Christ in all things, all nations, cultures, families, and in human hearts. We humbly beseech you for the continuous expansion of His manifest reign in every heart. Mother of Divine Love use me as a little servant to expand the Kingdom of your Son. Immaculate Mater Domini, implore the Holy Spirit, your Divine Spouse, to instill the love of God and the Word of God within me, so that I spread the love of God and the Word of God in all I meet. We pray that in all nations and in every heart you receive the honor due to you, and St. Joseph. We make our prayers through Christ our Lord and King. Amen.
