Let us consider that Mary was glorious at death, because She
had prepared to die well, through an ardent desire to see God
and to be united with Her divine Son, and through an unal-
terable perfection in Her actions. Seeing how far we are from
preparing for death as Mary did, let us thus pray to Her:
O holy Virgin! who prepared Yourself for a holy death, by living in
continual desire for the beatific vision, remove from us vain desires
for the perishable things of earth.
Hail Mary…
O holy Virgin! who, in preparation for a holy death, desired during
Your life to unite Yourself to Jesus Your divine Son, obtain for us the
grace to remain faithful to Him until death.
Hail Mary…
O holy Virgin, who prepared for death by amassing an immense
treasure of virtue and merit, let us always remember that grace and
virtue alone are capable of leading us to salvation.
Hail Mary…
Let us congratulate Mary on the diligence with which She prepared
to die well, and, to exalt Her glory, let us unite with the nine choirs of
Angels who accompanied Her in Her Assumption into heaven, and
say with the Seraphim, first choir of Angels:
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.
Preparatory Novena for the
Feast of the Assumption
Let us consider the glory of Mary in having been consoled at
death, not only by the Apostles and Saints, but also by Jesus
Christ Her divine Son; contemplating the excess of joy She
experienced in that last moment for so many favors, let us

O glorious Virgin! who had the consolation of dying in the presence of
the Apostles and Saints, obtain for us the grace of being assisted, at
our last hour, by You and by our patron saints.

Let us consider that Mary was glorious to die by the effect
of the pure love of God; if we want to have a little share in
this divine fire, let us turn to Her, saying:
O Mary, blessed Virgin, who left mortal life through the violence of
God’s love, ask that this flame of divine love be kindled in us,
according to God’s good pleasure.
Hail Mary…
O Mary! Blessed Virgin, who by dying of love taught us what our
affection for God should be, obtain for us that we may always
remain united to Him in life and in death.

Consider that after Mary’s death, Her body was glorious, be-
cause it was adorned with splendor and holy majesty, because
it gave off a divine fragrance, and worked wonders. At the
sight of our misery, let us turn to Her, and beseech Her,
saying:
O pure Virgin who, by Your virginal purity, merited that Your body
should be so resplendent after death, obtain for us the grace to drive
away from us all impure thoughts.

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.
Let us consider that Mary was glorious after Her death, be-
cause Her sacred body was resurrected by the virtue of the
Most High, and was immediately clothed with clarity, sub-
tlety, agility and impassibility: delighted to see Her in so
much glory, let us invoke Her, saying:
Most exalted Queen, whom God has so gloriously resurrected, be
propitious to us, obtain for us that on the last day we may be
resurrected like You.
Hail Mary…
O most exalted Queen, whose resurrected body was glorified by
clarity and subtlety, as a reward for Your exemplary and humble way
of life, remove from us all contemptuous ways, all vain self-esteem,
and let humility alone be the ornament of our lives.

agility and impassivity, as a reward for the fervor and patience which
distinguished You on earth, ask for us the courage to mortify our
bodies and patiently repress our vicious inclinations.
Hail Mary…
Let us give Mary the praise due to Her; let us exalt the glory She
received in Her resurrected body, and let us say, with the Virtues, the
fifth choir of Angels:
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.
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.
Consider that Mary is glorious in heaven, because She is
constituted Queen of the universe, and there receives a
continual tribute of praise and veneration from the innu-
merable multitude of Angels and Saints of Paradise. Let us
go respectfully to the foot of Her Majesty’s throne, and
beseech Her, saying:
O Queen, sovereign of the universe! who, by Thy incomparable
merits, have been raised to such a high degree of glory in heaven,
look upon our miseries with an eye of compassion, and lead us by
the gentle influence of Your protection.

from Your eminent place in heaven, deign to admit us to the
number of Your servants, and obtain for us the grace to faithfully
keep the commandments of the Lord our God.
Hail Mary…
Let us share the delight of the Angels in seeing Mary elevated to
such great glory; let us rejoice in recognizing Her as Queen of the
universe, and let us say, with the Principalities, the seventh chorus
of heavenly spirits:
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.
Let us consider Mary radiant with glory in heaven, by the
royal diadem with which Her divine Son crowned Her, and
by the profound knowledge She received of the highest and
most hidden things, past, present and future. Full of vener-
ation for the distinguished honor of this great Queen, let us
turn to Her, saying:
Incomparable Queen, who enjoys in heaven the glory of the
precious diadem with which Your divine Son crowned You, make us
partakers of Your rare virtues, so that we may be worthy to be
crowned with You in paradise.
Hail Mary…
Incomparable Queen, who knows everything that happens on earth,
deign to forgive us for the little esteem we have shown for Your

blemish, so that they may be worthy of God, obtain for us the
forgiveness of our sins, and make our looks, our movements and our
actions pleasing to His divine Majesty.

given to Her by the crown with which Her forehead is adorned, let
us add the humble testimonies of our affection, saying, with the
Archangels, the eighth choir of Angels:
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.
Let us consider how much glory Mary receives in heaven
from the protection She grants to men, and the solicitude
with which She provides for their needs; believing, with
lively faith, that we have as our protector in heaven the
Mother of our God, let us pray to Her with all our heart,
saying:
O Mary, our powerful protectress, who takes glory in being the
advocate of men in heaven, deliver us from the infernal enemy, and
place us in the hands of God, our Creator.
Hail Mary…
O Mary, our powerful protectress, who, as advocate of mankind in

office, loves to be continually implored by men, obtain for us the
spirit of true devotion, and make us invoke You at all times, but
especially at the dreaded moment of death.

Let us celebrate, with all the honor of which we are capable, the
glory of Mary, and, full of joy at having Her as our advocate in heaven,
let us praise Her with the Angels, ninth angelic choir, saying:
3 Hail Mary’s…

Let
us
go
respectfully
to
the
foot
of
Her
Majesty’s
throne,
and beseech Her, saying:
O
Queen,
sovereign
of
the
universe!
who,
by
Thy
incomparable
merits,
have
been
raised
to
such
a
high
degree
of
glory
in
heaven,
look
upon
our
miseries
with
an
eye
of
compassion,
and
lead
us
by
the
gentle
influence
of
Your
protection.
Hail Mary…
O
Queen,
sovereign
of
the
universe!
who
continually
receives
the
homage
of
the

court,
deign
to
be
our
advocate,
we
beseech
You;
let
our

You

the

faithfully keep the commandments of the Lord our God.
Hail Mary…
Let
us
share
the
delight

the
Angels
in
seeing
Mary

such

let
us
rejoice
in
recognizing
Her
as

Principalities,

Hail Mary’s…
Let

We
pray
Thee,
O

the

Our Lord. Amen.
Let
us
consider
how
much
glory
Mary
receives
in
heaven
from
the

She
grants
to
men,
and
the
solicitude
with
which
She

for
their
needs;
believing,
with
lively
faith,
that
we
have
as
our

of
our
God,
let
us

to
Her
with

protectress,
who
takes
glory
in
being
the
advocate
of
men
in
heaven,
deliver
us
from
the
infernal
enemy, and place us in the hands of God, our Creator.
Hail Mary…
O
Mary,
our
powerful
protectress,
who,
as
advocate
of
mankind
in
heaven,
desires
salvation
for
all,
preserve
us
from
despair at the sight of our sins and relapses.
Hail Mary…
O
Mary,
our
powerful
protectress,
who,
in
order
to
exercise
Your

continually
implored

praise
Her
