🙏 A Prayer to Mary, Assumed into Heaven
O Mary, Assumed into Heaven, we venerate you as the Queen of Heaven and earth.
As you tasted the bitterness of pain and sorrow with your Son on earth, you now enjoy eternal bliss with Him in Heaven.
Loving Queen, intercede for us in our needs.
Pray for us, O Queen Assumed into Heaven. Amen.
