Novena to Mary, Mother of God

Opening prayer:

Holy Mother of God, beneath your protection we take refuge. You who carried in your womb the eternal Word, look upon us with a mother's tenderness and lead us always to your Son. Amen.

Read the meditation and offer the intention of the day.

Day 9: Assumed into glory

Taken body and soul into heaven, Mary now reigns beside her Son as the first fruit of His victory and the pledge of what awaits His faithful. Where the Mother has gone, the children hope to follow. She is the sure hope of all who long to be with God, and she draws her own ever upward toward the glory she already enjoys.

O Mary, assumed into heaven and crowned in glory, you are the sure hope of all who journey here below. Obtain for me the grace of final perseverance, that having served your Son faithfully to the end, I may one day be gathered with you into the glory of His everlasting kingdom. Amen.

Today's intention:

For the grace of final perseverance and eternal life.

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 Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from every danger. Through your intercession may we one day behold the face of your Son in glory. Amen.
