Novena in Preparation for the Assumption Of The Blessed Virgin Mary
Day Four - August 9.
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:

Fourth day
O Dearest Mother Mary, Assumed into Heaven, God placed you at His right
hand that you may intercede for his little ones as the Mother of God.
In the midst of all the saints you stand as their Queen and ours, dearer
to the Heart of God than any creation. You pray for your children and grant us
every grace won by our loving Savior on the Cross.
Please intercede for us in our needs and ask Jesus to grant our request
if it be for the good of our souls.
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.
