Prayer for the Feast of the Assumption

~ O Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God and Mother of humanity, we believe with all the fervor of our faith in your triumphal Assumption, both body and soul, into heaven, where you are acclaimed as Queen by all the choirs of angels and all the legions of the saints. And we unite with them to praise and bless the Lord who has exalted you above all other pure creatures, and to offer you the tribute of our devotion and our love. -Pope Pius XII
