Holy Mary, Mother of God,
you brought true light to the world,
Jesus, your Son – the Son of God.
You completely surrendered to God's calling
and became a source of goodness,
which wells up from Him.
Show us Jesus.
Guide us to Him.
Teach us to know Him and love,
that we may also be capable of true love
and become sources of living water
in the midst of a thirsty world.
(Benedict XVI, conclusion of the encyclical Deus Caritas est,
December 2005)
