O merciful God, hear the supplication of thy servants: that we who are gathered together to honour the Conception of the Virgin Mother of God may through her intercession be delivered by thee from the perils which beset us. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
