My Prayer for You

Blessed Mother Mary, as we prepare to celebrate your glorious Assumption into Heaven on August 15, we turn to you and ask you to teach us how to say, and mean: “Let it be done to me as You say.” You were completely open to God’s will for you. Teach us to follow your example always. By the power of the Holy Spirit, may we serve God’s people as faithful missionary disciples totally dedicated to Your Son Jesus. Amen.
