In union of prayer
O Virgin Mary, you welcomed with joy
the call to be the Mother of God and our Mother too.
You took the road without delay,
to bring the Good News to your cousin Elizabeth.
At Cana, you told your Son Jesus...
what people needed for the wedding feast to continue.
At the foot of the cross, you stood by Him,
taking your place, without complaint,
without begging to change your position...
sharing fully in the mission of your Son.
In the Upper Room, you prayed with all the disciples, for the Holy Spirit;
and they became courageous witnesses throughout the world.
In your motherly tenderness, look upon us your sons,
the Religious of Betharram, journeying to the General Chapter.
We wish to imitate and manifest in our community
the generous spirit of the Heart of Your Son.
Help us, religious and laity, to be eager and happy missionaries;
may we have the courage to respond to the challenges of today’s world through love, without delay, without reserve, without turning back.
AMEN.
