O Happy Virgin, you gave birth to the Lord;
O Blessed Mother of the Church, you warm our hearts with the Spirit of your Son Jesus Christ.

After Jesus had been taken up to Heaven (Acts 1:11) they (Apostles) returned to Jerusalem from the Mount called Olivet which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath’s Day journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying, Peter, John and James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas son of James.
All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary, the Mother of Jesus as well as His brothers. –Acts 1:12-14
