MARY OF THE ANGELUS LITANY

Being a Handmaid for the Lord

Mary’s Fiat or Yes to the Archangel Gabriel’s message “Be it done unto me according to your word“ gave permission for God’s Son to be born.

Each title in this Litany empowers us to proclaim God’s Word for Christ to be born in the hearts of those we pray for.

God the Father, who holds creation in existence, have mercy on us

God the Son perfector of creation, have mercy on us

God the Holy Spirit beautifier of creation, have mercy on us

St Joseph guardian of the church, Pray for us

St Michael defender of the church, Pray for us

St Gabriel messenger of creation’s renewal, Pray for us

St Raphael bringer of medicine for creation’s growth, Pray for us

 

Mary conceived immaculately without the effects of sin,

Mary hailed as full of grace by the angel,

Mary giving her Fiat to God,

Mary conceiving of the Holy Spirit,

Mary proclaimed as the Lord is with you,

Mary proclaimed blessed among women,

Mary proclaimed blessed fruit of your womb,

Mary proclaimed Mother of the Lord,

Mary Queen of the Angels

by your Assumption into heaven,

Mary Queen of Intercessors

by presence at the Cross,

Mary nurturing Christ within us,

Mary handmaiden of the Lord,

Mary perfectly responding to the Word,

Mary whose soul magnifies the Lord,

Mary whose Spirit rejoices in God,

Mary bringing Jesus to birth in creation,

Mary bringing Jesus to birth in us,

Mary for whom God works marvels,

Mary through whom our ancestors receive Christ,

Mary through whom creation is set free in Christ,

Mary who regenerates us into a new life with Christ,

Mary glory of the spiritual order,

Mary true model of spiritual poverty,

Mary true heir of the kingdom of God,

Mary Mediatrix of all grace,

Mary of the Angelus,

 

Let us pray:
Lord Jesus by Mary’s perfect response to the message of the angel you were brought to birth into creation and a sure and inevitable victory over all forces of evil was brought about, grant that through her prayers and the merits you won for us on Calvary, we too may perfectly give our fiat to your Divine Will and thus receive the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit, that we be completely transformed into your brother or sister.

 

Prayer Comment:
The role of an intercessor as a handmaiden of grace involves proclaiming God’s word in spiritual warfare. They reclaim souls from being downtrodden, oppressed, and in captivity to the powers of darkness

or those enslaved by their human desires. As a member of Mary’s Prayer Army they bring Jesus, the Good News, to the poor by intercessor prayer. (Luke 4:18).
