Queen Assumed into Heaven, Pray for Us!

Antiphon. Mary hath been taken up into heaven: the angels rejoice, and, blessing God, praise Him with one voice.
V. The holy Mother of God is exalted.
R. Above the choirs of angels to the heavenly kingdom.

Let us Pray
O Lord, may we obtain salutary help this venerable feast day on which the holy Mother of God suffered death for a time, but could not be held by its bonds ~ she who brought forth in the flesh Thy Son, our Lord. Who liveth and reigneth forever and ever. Amen.
