Blessed is she who trusted the Lord's words to her would be fulfilled. Like Mary, we trust, and we pray.
May the Church, like Mary, bring Christ into the world with joy, and be joined with him in endless life.
May Mary’s Assumption awaken government leaders to the supreme dignity of each human life.
In Mary, may all mothers find the example and strength to carry out their vocation. Inspired by Mary’s witness of faith and her holiness of life,may we always be positive signs of hope.
By turning to Mary, who intercedes for us, we pray for the lowly, the hungry and the dispossessed, that the Almighty will do great things in their lives and in the lives of all who are deprived of human dignity.
We remember Mary as a mother, Jesus’ first disciple, and we remember all who are sick or suffering in any way, that they may find strength, consolation and healing.
God our Father, by bringing Mary, body and soul, to heavenly glory, you give us new hope. May we never doubt you will hear and answer our prayers.
