Prayer to Mary on the Solemnity of the Assumption

O most holy one, O most lowly one,
Loving Virgin, Mary!
Mother, Maid of fairest love,
Lady, Queen of all above, pray for us!
Virgin ever fair, Mother, hear our prayer,
Look upon us, Mary!
Bring to us your treasure, Grace beyond all measure;
Pray for us!

Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Jesus and our Mother,
we believe in your triumphant assumption into heaven
where the angels and saints acclaim you as Queen.
We join them in praising you and bless the Lord
who raised you above all creatures.
With them we offer you our devotion and love.
We are confident that you watch over our daily efforts and needs,
and we take comfort from the faith in the coming resurrection.
We look to you, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
After this earthly life, show us Jesus, the blessed fruit of your womb,
O kind, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
