O Mary, Ark of the New and Eternal Covenant,
flowering stem that has produced the fruit of Life,
give us your Son, Jesus, Bread of Life and Word of Life.
Give the Saviour to the world so that He may bring it true peace.
Thank you for your maternal love for all humanity.
Our Lady of the Ark of the Covenant,
Beloved daughter of the Father,
Most loving mother of the Son,
Immaculate Bride of the Holy Spirit,
Keep us faithful to the Covenant with Jesus, "the Way, the Truth and the Life".
And just as the Ark of the Covenant guided the sons of Israel through the desert,
guide us, help us in the deserts of our lives,
and protect us always and everywhere, Amen!
Prayer composed by Sr Esther
for the feast of Our Lady of the Ark of the Covenant on 2 July 2021.
