Day Eight
O Emmanuel, God with us, our King and Lawgiver, the expected of the nations and their Savior: Come to save us, O Lord our God.

Collect: Almighty ever-living God, as we see how the Nativity of your Son according to the flesh draws near, we pray that to us, your unworthy servants, mercy may flow from your Word, who chose to become flesh of the Virgin Mary and establish among us his dwelling, Jesus Christ our Lord. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Litany to Jesus in the Womb of Mary
Jesus, Sacrificial Lamb, Docile Infant in the womb of Mary, have mercy on us!
Jesus, who was to suffer the agony and passion of death, accepting the human capacity for pain and grief, in the womb of Mary, have mercy on us!
