Gracious God,
Lord, as we wander beneath the canopy of vivid red leaves of the sanctuary, we pause to behold the splendor of your creation, which fills our hearts with grateful praise.
Grant us, we ask, the grace to see in each leaf the hand of the Creator who paints the world with love, and to carry this wonder into our daily lives, sharing the beauty of your gifts with all whom we meet.
Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who watches over The Grotto and all who walk its paths, may our hearts be ever open to the light of Christ, and may the colors of autumn remind us of the hope of resurrection that springs anew in every season.
Amen.
