Feast of the Holy Family

Mary, although the ancients did not give you a salutation of a great “O”, we do today, as over the days, the years, the centuries you have held us all in your tender care. 

O King of the Nations, Ruler of the People, and their desired One, Come, and deliver us, whom you formed out of the dust of the earth.

O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice: come and shine on those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death.

O Key of David, and scepter of the House of Israel: you open and no one can shut; you shut and no one can open; Come and lead the prisoners from the prison house, those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.

O Root of Jesse, standing as a sign among the nations: kings will keep silence before you for whom the nations long; come and save us without delay.

O Sacred Lord of Ancient Israel, who showed yourself to Moses in the fire of the burning bush, who gave him the holy law on Sinai mountain: come, with outstretched arms and set us free.

“O Wisdom, O Holy Word of God, you govern all creation with your loving, tender care: come and show your people the way to salvation.”
