Mary,
our mother and Mother of God,
you are the model
of faith, hope, and love
for all of us, your children.

Be our pilgrimage guide
as we enter the new millennium
and celebrate the Great Jubilee.

Guide us to Jesus, your Son,
so that we may listen to him
and do whatever he tells us.

Show us how to serve the poor
and to find Christ in them,
for you are the perfect model
of love towards
both God and neighbor.
