The Fruits of Mary's Obedience

You have planted Adam again. For through you, O holy Virgin, the enmity that stood in the middle of the barrier was destroyed; through you, heavenly peace was granted to the world; through you, the ends of the inhabited earth were enlightened; through you, humans have become like angels; through you, humans have been called friends, servants, and children of God; and through you, humans have been worthy to become fellow-servants and fellow-neighbors of the angels. Through you, heavenly knowledge is sent up from earth to the heavens in praise; through you, humans have boldness before the Most High in heaven. Through you, the Cross has shone throughout the whole inhabited world, upon which your Child, Christ our God, was hung. Through you, death is trampled and Hades is plundered; through you, idols have fallen and heavenly knowledge has been awakened. Through you, we have come to know the only-begotten Son of God whom you bore, O all-holy Virgin, our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all angels and humans, while worshiping, say that we glorify the unoriginated Father, the unoriginated Son, and the unoriginated Holy Spirit, the indivisible and consubstantial Trinity, unto the ages of ages. Amen.
