Novena for the Assumption

Every year I make this novena, beginning on the Feast of the Transfiguration on August 6th, and finishing on August 14th, vigil of the Assumption and commemoration of St. Maximilian Kolbe. This year I am making a special intention for the repose of the soul of my grandmother.



Our Father...
I believe...
Hail Mary...
Glory be...

V. Pray for us, O holy mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

Almighty and ever living God, by whose power the body and soul of the Virgin Mary was assumed into heaven without spot or stain, grant by her intercession that we may come to share in the resurrection of her only son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and so come to the joys of eternal life. We ask this through the same Christ our Lord, Amen.
