O Mary, the rising dawn of all purity, I am with You enraptured with
joy and admiration at the sight of this first moment of Your
Immaculate Conception, in which Divine Goodness has confirmed
You in grace, and made You impeccable; I thank and exalt the
most holy Trinity for having distinguished You, alone, among all
creatures by this singular privilege: O holy Virgin, obtain for me the
grace to abhor sin, to hate it more than all other evils, and to prefer
rather to die than to offend God.
3 Ave Maria…
Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception
of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
