Novena in Preparation for the Assumption of
the Blessed Virgin Mary
Seventh 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, Queen of every heart, accept
all that we are and bind us to Jesus with the bonds of love so that we may be
yours forever and may be able to say in all truth:
“I belong to Jesus through Mary”.
Our Mother, Assumed into Heaven and
Queen of the Universe, ever-Virgin Mother of God, obtain for us what we ask, if
it be for the glory of God and 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.
