Assumption of Mary Novena – 9 Days of Prayer
Honoring Mary's glorious Assumption
The Assumption celebrates the Catholic belief that Mary, at the end of her earthly life, was taken body and soul into heavenly glory. It is the great hope-filled feast of August 15, pointing to what God intends for all who are united to Christ. This nine-day novena helps you pray for a holy death, for the departed and for grace to live with heaven in view. It suits anyone who has recently buried someone, or who simply loves Mary and wants to keep her feast well.
A novena is nine consecutive days of prayer. Begin nine days before the feast (August 15) and finish on its eve. You can pray this novena at any time of year.
