Let us pray

God, Who, by the immaculate conception of the Virgin, didst prepare a worthy habitation for Thy Son: we beseech Thee that, as in view of the death of that Son Thou didst preserve her from all stain of sin, so Thou wouldst enable us, being made pure by her intercession, to come unto Thee. Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

Indulgence of 100 days, every time. — Pius IX,March 31, 1876.


Ejaculation

IN thy conception, O Virgin Mary, thou wast immaculate; pray for us to the Father, whose Son, Jesus Christ, conceived of the Holy Ghost, thou didst bring forth.

Indulgence of too days, every time. — Pius VI, Nov. 21, 1793.
