Here is a profound and detailed prayer, dedicated to Mary, to express our gratitude and admiration on this blessed night.
Prayer to the Virgin Mary on this Christmas night
O Mary, immaculate Virgin,
On this sacred night when the world celebrates the birth of your Son,
We come to you with hearts filled with gratitude and faith.
You are the one who said "yes" to God,
opening the door to the salvation of humanity.
Help us to follow your example of humility and trust.
Most holy mother,
You who bore in your womb the light of the world,
Help us to welcome Jesus into our lives
With the same faith, the same tenderness and the same love.
Help us to open our hearts,
So that this night is not just a feast,
But a true encounter with your Son.
O Mary, refuge of sinners,
On this night when peace descends upon the earth,
We entrust to you our weaknesses, our doubts and our fears.
Intercede with your Son that he may transform our hearts,
That he may drive the darkness from our lives
And fill us with his divine light.
Mother of Jesus, you who knew simplicity and humility,
Remind us that true greatness lies in service and love.
On this night when the angels sing the glory of God,
Help us to sing too,
With our lives, the goodness and mercy of your Son.
We pray to you, O Mary, for all who suffer,
For broken hearts, lost souls,
And all who are desperately seeking peace.
Guide them to Jesus, source of all consolation.
Inspire us also to be instruments of your compassion,
Extending a hand to those in need.
Finally, Blessed Virgin,
We entrust to you our families, our homes and our lives.
Wrap us in your mantle of tenderness,
And watch over us as you watch over Jesus.
Help us to live this night in joy and serenity,
Knowing that your Son is with us, now and forever.
In the light of this Christmas night,
We praise and thank you,
You, the Mother of God and our Mother.
Amen.
