Mary, Queen
Assumed into
Heaven, I
rejoice that
after years of
heroic martyrdom
on earth, you
have at last
been taken to
the throne
prepared for you
in heaven by the
Holy Trinity.
Lift my heart
with you in the
glory of your
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
your 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 you for help.
I ask for this
favor: (Mention
your request).
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
you.
