Novena in Preparation for Our Lady’s Assumption into heaven
Day 9 - Final day
Majestic Queen of Heaven and Mistress of
the Angels, thou hast received from God the power and command to crush the head
of satan. Therefore, we humbly beg of thee, send forth the legions of Heaven,
that under thy command they may seek out all evil spirits, engage them
everywhere in battle, curb their pride, and hurl them back into the pit of
hell. Quis ut Deus? “Who is like unto God?” With firm confidence we present
ourselves before thee, our most loving Mother, afflicted and troubled as we
are, and we beg thee to let us understand the love you have for us by granting
this petition, if it is according to the Will of God and profitable for our
salvation:
(Mention your request)
Mary, our dear Mother and mighty Queen, take and receive our poor hearts
with all their freedom and desires, all the love and all the virtues and graces
with which they may be adorned.
All we are and all we might be, all we have and hold in the order of
nature as well as of grace, we have received from God through your loving
intercession.
Help us dear Mother to surrender to God all that we have, including our
petitions.
O Blessed Mother Assumed into Heaven, after years of
heroic martyrdom on earth, we rejoice that you have at last been taken to the
throne prepared for you in Heaven by the Holy Trinity.
Lift our hearts with you in the glory of your
Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity.
Teach us how small earth becomes when viewed from
heaven. Make us realize that death is the triumphant gate through which we
shall pass to your Son and that someday our bodies shall rejoin our souls in
the unending bliss of heaven.
From this earth, which we tread as pilgrims, we look
to you for help.
In honor of your Assumption into Heaven, we ask for
this favor:
(Mention your request)
At the hour of our death, lead us safely to the
presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of God for all eternity together with
you.
