Assumption

Next Friday 15th August is the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. It is a Holyday of Obligation.  Mass on Thursday evening at 7.30 p.m. and on Friday at 9.00 a.m. and 12.00 Noon.

 

Lord Jesus, Son of the Virgin Mary,

we praise you and bless you

for having so glorified your Mother

in her soul and body.

 

If the day of death

is the day of birth into heaven,

your Mother was never so young

as on the morning of her Assumption.

 

Help us to grow old as she did

while continually becoming younger,

until the day when we will be children enough

to enter the Kingdom.

 

We ask this of you

in the name of the love you have for your Mother,

who is also our Mother

and the first of all the children of God.

(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
