All: Amen.
Head of the Family: Let us welcome our Mother Mary with a song.
All: Hail, Queen of heaven, the ocean star,
Guide of the wanderer here below,
Thrown on life’s surge, we claim thy care,
Save us from peril and from woe.
Mother of Christ, O Star of the sea
Pray for the wanderer, pray for me.
O gentle, chaste, and spotless Maid,
We sinners make our prayers through thee;
Remind thy Son that He has paid
The price of our iniquity.
Virgin most pure, O star of the sea,
Pray for the sinner, pray for me.
Head of the Family: We remember, dear Mother, your humble visit to your cousin Elizabeth. You set out proceeding in haste into the hill country to a town in Judah. You knew you were the Mother of the Saviour, a great honor. But you forgot your dignity and in humility you went to serve your cousin. You come with concern for our needs.
Family: We are honored to receive you into our home, O Mary.
Head of the Family: When Elizabeth heard your greeting, O Mary, the baby leapt in her womb and she was filled with the Holy Spirit. Fill our hearts with the joy, love and peace of the Holy Spirit.
Family: We are honored to receive you into our home, O Mary.
Head of the Family: Blessed are you, O Mary, among all women. Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus! Who are we that the mother of our Lord should come to us? The moment your greeting sounded in the ears of Elizabeth her baby leapt for joy. Fill our home with openness and faith in you.
Family: We are honored to receive you into our home, O Mary.
Head of the Family: Blessed are you, O Mary, you trusted that the Lord fulfills His words. Pour into our hearts great trust in our Lord that we may accept whatever message He would like to tell us through your visit.

Head of the Family: Let us pray the PRAYER OF WELCOME.
Family: O Mother of Christ and Help of Christians we are happy and honored your visit to our poor home which you made worthy to be the abode of your love during your stay with us. Give us, beloved mother/ your blessing. Bless all those who live in this home, never allow us to commit anything that will give you sorrow. Help us grow in imitation of your virtues. We are yours our Queen and Mother. Take care of us all, like your own now and forever.
Head of the Family: Let us sing a song to Mary
Family:
Mother dear, O pray for me!
Whilst far from heav’n and thee.
I wander in a fragile bark,
O’er life’s tempestuous sea.
O Virgin Mother, from thy throne,
So bright in bliss above.
Protect thy child and cheer my path
With thy sweet smile of love.
Chorus:
Mother dear, remember me!
And never cease thy care,
‘Till in heaven eternally,
Thy love and bliss I share.
Mother dear, O pray for me!
Should pleasure’s siren lay.
E’er tempt thy child to wander far
From Virtue’s path away.
When thorns beset life’s devious way,
And darkling waters flow.
Then Mary aid thy weeping child,
Thyself a mother show.
Head of the Family: Let us now recite the ‘Song of Mary’, her great prayer to God Almighty. As we say it, let us ask for the grace of humility and faith so we may always find joy and strength in our trust and dependence on God.
Family: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour for He has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
All: From this day all generations will call me blessed: The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.
Family: He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm. He has scattered the proud in their conceit.
All: He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
Family He has come to the help of his servant Israel. For He has remembered His promises of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.
All : Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy spirit. As it was in the beginning is now and will be forever. Amen.
