LAUDS (3 a.m.)
Your shrine is our Bethlehem,
pleasing to God through its sunrise.There you gave virginal birth to the Lord
who chose you as his Bride and Mother.
In your miraculous fruitfulness
you brought forth the Sun of Righteousness.You have graciously established Schoenstatt
so that our times can see the Eternal Light.
From there you want to go through our dark world
as the Christbearer sent by God.Jubilantly place the Lord into my soul anew,
so that, like you, I may perfectly resemble him.
Let me be a Christbearer for our times,
that they may shine in the brightest radiance of the sun.Glory be joyfully given to the Father
through Christ with Mary, highly praised,
in the Holy Spirit full of splendor
from the universe now and in all eternity.Amen.
