THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother; to thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
STEWARDSHIP OF TIME We put God FIRST in our lives by coming to Mass every Lord’s Day and spending time in prayer each day. If we are family, we spend time together as often as possible.
