This weekend, August 15th, we honour Mary our Mother in Faith on the Solemnity of her Assumption. We ask for her intercession and prayers to God as we ourselves pray:

O Mary,
We fly to your protection, most holy Mother of God; please listen to our petitions and needs, and deliver us from all dangers, ever glorious and blessed Virgin Mary.
Mary, our model and mother, by your example and patience you have taught us how to be true children of God. Please help us by your assistance to endure our challenges, overcome our weaknesses, and to fulfill our tasks in life.
By your compassionate assistance may we ever stand in spirit with you beneath the cross of Christ so that we may also rejoice with you in your divine Son's triumphant victory over sin and death.
In your maternal kindness help us to be faithful to prayers in the company of God's Church as you were one with the Apostles in the upper room as you waited for the promised Spirit of Pentecost.
With your gracious assistance may we be near you in the glory of Christ's kingdom, and come to sing with you and all the faithful the eternal praise of God.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
