The Novena to Our Lady of Assumption is a powerful devotion that honors the Blessed Virgin Mary’s assumption into heaven and seeks her powerful intercession for our special intentions and petitions.
The title of Our Lady of the Assumption was given to Mary to honor the mystery of her being assumed body and soul into heavenly glory at the end of her earthly life. The Feast of the Assumption is celebrated every August 15, reminding the faithful of Mary's unique place in salvation history and standing as a sign of the resurrection and eternal life promised to all who follow her Son.
This prayer should be said for nine consecutive days leading up to the Feast of the Assumption (August 15th) or at any time of the year when you are in need of Our Lady's help.
*NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION* - Prayer Text
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. In honor of your Assumption into Heaven, I ask for this favor: (Mention your petitions now).
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.
Closing Prayer:
Almighty, ever-living God, You raised to eternal glory the body and soul of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Your Son. Grant that our minds may always be directed heavenward and that we may deserve to share in her glory. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
