Prayer for the Feast of the Assumption of Mary Loving God, Tomorrow we celebrate the Feast of the Assumption, when Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken into heaven to be with You forever. We thank You for Mary’s life—her faith, her courage, and her love. Help us to follow her example by saying “yes” to You every day, just like she did. Mary, our Mother, pray for us, guide us, and help us grow closer to Jesus. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Let us pray together... Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Kindness Dear Lord, Please help me to be kind so kindness can spread. Help me to be my best self so I can help make the world a kinder place. Amen
