Novena in Preparation for the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Day 8
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, Queen Assumed into Heaven, we
rejoice that you are the Queen of Heaven and Earth. You have given your holy
fiat to God and became the Mother of our Savior.
Obtain peace and salvation for us
through your prayers, for you have given birth to Christ our Lord, the Savior
of all mankind. Intercede for us and bring our petitions before the Throne of
God.
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.
