Novena in Preparation for the Assumption
Day Three
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)
Good and tender Mother, thou shalt ever be our hope and the object of
our love. Mother of God, send forth the Holy Angels to defend us and drive far
from us the cruel foe. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend and keep us.
Mary, Queen Assumed into Heaven, I rejoice that after years of heroic
martyrdom on earth, thou hast at last been taken to the throne prepared for
thee in Heaven by the Holy Trinity. Lift my heart with thee in the glory of thy
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 thy Divine 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 thee for help. I ask for this favor:
(Mention your request again)
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 thee.
