The Assumption
This is the most ancient and solemn of Mary's feasts. After a most blessed death Mary was triumphantly assumed into heaven with soul and body and was crowned Queen of Heaven by her own Son. Unite your joy and gratitude with that of the angels and saints in heaven as well as that of the Church upon earth, for it is your Heavenly Mother's Coronation Day. How well did she deserve this immortal crown! She crushed the serpent's head. She offered herself and her beloved Son unto death for the redemption of mankind. She triumphed over the world and the devil. Pray that Mary may reign as Queen in your heart and in the hearts of all people. Pray to her for the grace of final perseverance in good and a happy death.
V. Pray for us, Queen of the heavens.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
PRAYER
May the prayer of the Mother of God help Your people, O Lord, and though we know that she passed from this life as every mortal must, meuy we feel her intercession for us before You in heavenly glory Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
