The Assumption of the Mother of God


In giving birth, thou didst preserve thy virginity. In falling asleep, thou didst not forsake the world, O Mother of God. Thou wast translated to life, O Mother of Life, and by thy prayers, thou deliverest our souls from death.
Neither the tomb, nor death, could hold the Mother of God, who is constant in prayer, and our firm hope in her intercessions. For being the Mother of Life, she was translated to life, by the One who dwelt in her virginal womb.
Our Lady of the Assumption, pray for us!
