The Assumption of Our Lady
The Priest introduces the prayers:
As we give thanks for the Assumption of Our Lady into heaven, let us pray that all things on earth may be made perfect by God, as we pray for the needs of the Church and of the world.
Reader:
We pray for the Church,
that the Church may give yet greater honour to Mary, Mother of God, and respond to God's will as she did.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for the peoples of the world,
may Mary protect them all with her prayers,
and may God grant them peace and justice.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for all those who suffer and those who care for them.
Mary knew the agony of her son's suffering when she stood at the foot of the cross, so may God bless all those who suffer, with the reassurance that he will deliver them from all evil.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for those who have died,
may they follow Mary and all the saints into the glory of the heaven.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
Let us join our prayers with the prayers of our Lady.
Hail Mary.
Let us pray for a moment in silence.
The priest concludes the prayers:
Almighty and Eternal God, may we have the same faith as Mary, who trusted perfectly in your word, that you may hear our prayers and answer them. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
