Prayer: Cyril of Alexandria

Hail Mary, who enclosed under your heart the infinite God whom no space can contain. Through you the Trinity is adored and glorified; the cross is venerated throughout the universe. Through you the heavens rejoice, and the angels and archangels are filled with gladness. Through you the demons are banished, and the tempter fell from heaven. Through you the fallen human race is admitted to heaven. Through you kings rule, and the Son of God has become a star of light to those who were sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death.
