Consider that Mary was gloriously raised to heaven, accom-
panied by a multitude of heavenly spirits and holy souls de-
livered from purgatory by Her merits. Let us applaud the
majesty of Her triumph, and invoke Her with humble
prayers, saying:
O great Queen! who was raised with such majesty in the bosom of
eternal peace, remove from us all earthly thoughts, and make our
hearts remain firm in the contemplation of the immutable goods of
paradise.
Hail Mary…
O great Queen! who, in Your elevation to heaven, was accompanied
by the entire heavenly hierarchy, grant that we may avoid the snares
of our enemy, and that we may give access in our hearts to the
aspirations of the Angel who continually watches over us and assists
us.
Hail Mary…
O great Queen! who had the glory of being accompanied in Your
Assumption by the souls Your merits had delivered from purgatory,
obtain for us deliverance from the slavery of sin, and eternal praise in
heaven.
Hail Mary…
Let us not cease to applaud the majestic triumph of Mary and the
glory She has obtained in Her Assumption into heaven: let us unite
our homage to the Powers, the sixth choir of Angels, and let us say:
3 Hail Mary’s…
Let Us Pray. We pray Thee, O Lord, to forgive the sins of Thy servants,
so that, unable to please Thee by our actions, we may be saved by
the intercession of the Mother of Thy Son Our Lord. Amen.
