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)
