Introduction - At the end of her earthly life, the Blessed Virgin Mary, forever unstained by sin, was brought to heaven body and soul. Through her, God’s son was born. Our Blessed Mother was taken to heaven to be reunited with her beloved Son. Today, we celebrate Mary as a model of obedience and humility. She intercedes for us as Queen of Heaven. Mary stands ready to welcome us to eternal life in the presence of our Lord.
Lord Jesus - you are the Beloved Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary - Lord have mercy.
Christ Jesus - you have done great things for us - Christ have mercy.
Lord Jesus - your love and compassion extends to every generation - Lord have mercy.
