O God of all the living, you brought to birth the day of salvation wrought through the One who is our everlasting life and peace. Through the intercession of Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, bring to perfection that which you have begun in him who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
