Novena for the Assumption

Opening prayer:

O Mary, assumed into heaven and crowned Queen of all creation, you are the first fruits of those who belong to Christ. Turn your merciful eyes upon me from your throne of glory, and draw me along the road that you have walked before me. Amen.

Read the meditation and offer the intention of the day.

Day 6: Crowned Queen of heaven

Christ the King welcomed his Mother to his side and set upon her a crown above all the saints and angels, fulfilling the psalm that placed the queen at the king's right hand. Her queenship is not power grasped for herself but mercy poured out for her children on earth. She teaches us that to reign with Christ is to serve, and she uses her royal place only to draw us nearer to her Son.

O Mary, crowned Queen of heaven and earth, who reigns to show us mercy, obtain for me trust in your queenly intercession for my needs, and use your royal favor before your Son to draw me ever closer to His Sacred Heart. Amen.

Today's intention:

For trust in Mary's queenly intercession for my needs.

Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis,

sanctificétur nomen tuum.

Advéniat regnum tuum.

Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.

Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie,

et dimítte nobis débita nostra,

sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris.

Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem,

sed líbera nos a malo.

Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum.

Benedícta tu in muliéribus,

et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.

Sancta María, Mater Dei,

ora pro nobis peccatóribus,

nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.

Amen.

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper,

et in sǽcula sæculórum.

Amen.

Closing prayer:

O glorious Queen of heaven, who shares now in body and soul the joy of your risen Son, obtain for me the grace I implore in this novena. Keep me faithful unto death, that at the last I may rejoice with you in the glory you already possess. Amen.
