The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Solemnity)

Almighty God,

It is with grateful hearts and humble spirit that we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. You called the Blessed Virgin Mary to take part in your work of salvation. And she, as the model of our faith and discipleship, has inspired us to be faithful to the mission entrusted to each one of us. May you strengthen us that we too may be able to stand at the foot of the crosses of our suffering brothers and sisters and at the end complete our joy be seeing you face-to-face in your Kingdom, where you live and reign forever and ever.

Amen.
