Obviously to my stink eye and and the annoyed scowl I was wearing, finally I asked him "So, do you take request?". This tender young boy niave to sarcasm chirped back "Sure! What would you like to hear?!". My reply...<br /><br />"Do you know <em>'Shut the hell up'</em>? It's a great song.

Collect: Father, You prepared the Virgin Mary to be the worthy mother of your Son. You let her share beforehand in the salvation Christ would bring by His death, and kept her sinless from the first moment of her conception. Help us by her prayers to live in your presence without sin. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
