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 7: Our hope of resurrection

In Mary assumed into heaven we behold the destiny promised to all the faithful, body and soul reunited in glory at the last day. She is the first of the redeemed to share fully in her Son's victory over death, and she goes before us as a sign of sure hope and comfort to a pilgrim people. She teaches us to lift our eyes beyond the grave to the glory God has prepared for those who love him.

O Mary, first fruit of the resurrection and pledge of our own, obtain for me an unshakable hope in the resurrection of the dead, that amid the fear of death I may keep my eyes fixed on the glory God has prepared, of which you are the radiant sign. Amen.

Today's intention:

For unshakable hope in the resurrection of the dead.

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.
