On this special (Solemnity of) the Assumption Of Mary
Brothers and sisters, let us acknowledge our sins and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries.
Lord Jesus, you glorified your mother, the ark of God. Lord have mercy.
You raised the Blessed Virgin Mary, body and soul, into heavenly glory. Christ have mercy.
Mary's assumption is the first fruits of the victory you won for the human race. Lord have mercy.
May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.
