Family and Faith Matters

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Today, we gathered in Church together as one body in Christ - our school and parish community together and we prayed:
Almighty ever-living God, who assumed the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the Mother of your Son, body and soul into heavenly glory, grant, we pray, that, always attentive to the things that are above, we may merit to be sharers of her glory.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
