Feast of the Assumption August 15th


We love you Mother!
Prayers in Honor of Our Lady's Assumption
O almighty and eternal God, You assumed into heaven, body and soul, the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Your Son. Grant, through her intercession, that we may ever long for You and one day be brought to the glory of the resurrection. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Our Father - Hail Mary - Glory be to the Father.
Queen, assumed into heaven, pray for us.
Our Lady, Queen of Angels

August Queen of Heaven! Sovereign Mistress of the angels! Thou who from the beginning hast received from God the power and mission to crush the head of Satan, we humbly beseech thee to send thy Holy Legions, that, under thy command and by thy power, they may pursue the evil spirits, encounter them on every side, resist their bold attacks and drive them hence into the abyss of eternal woe. O Good and Tender Mother,thou wilst always be our love and hope, send the Holy Angels to defend us and repel the cruel enemy far from us.
Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us, protect us! Amen.



Novena to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
Mary, Queen Assumed into Heaven, I rejoice that after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in heaven by the Holy Trinity.
Lift my heart with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity. Teach me how small earth becomes when viewed from heaven. Make me realize that death is the triumphant gate through which I shall pass to your Son, and that someday my body shall rejoin my soul in the unending bliss of heaven.
From this earth, over which I tread as a pilgrim, I look to you for help. I ask for this favor: (Mention your request).
When my hour of death has come, lead me safely to the presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of my God for all eternity together with you. Amen

The link above for the 54 day novena is missing the reflection on the transfiguration mystery.

Thank you so much for creating the site.
