Lord Jesus Christ, You have destroyed the power of death and given the hope of eternal life in body and soul.

life over death.
You live and reign forever and ever.

Lift our hearts with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity.
Teach us how small earth becomes when viewed from heaven. Make us realize that death is the triumphant gate through which we shall pass to your Son and that someday our bodies shall rejoin our souls in the unending bliss of heaven.
From this earth, over which we tread as pilgrims, we look to you for help.
In honor of your Assumption into Heaven we ask for this favor.

When our hour of death has come, lead us safely to the presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of God for all eternity together with you.

Holy Mother Mary – The refugee children of Africa are dying of hunger. Children of Somalia, Burundi, Rwanda as they flood refuge camps. Dying of hunger and thirst in their mothers’ arms. Each of these precious children was formed in the Image and Likeness of God, knit together with love and intention in their mothers’ wombs. Oh Holy Mother, Our Mother Mary save them and teach us what now we are to do to save these precious children! I love you, please answer this prayer! Obtain for us the Grace of knowing what to do to ease this suffering. And may all the children who die please behold the Beatific Vision and be embraced in warmth, love, peace, and forgiveness for those of us who failed them. In Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen

For those who are discouraged, please, have faith and keep praying! My answer to prayer couldn’t have come in a more perfect time, since my son is starting school soon and I was working an after school program 30 miles away. I would never have seen him! Also, I needed a full-time to help with our finances. After starting the novena, I was called for an interview on Tuesday and had it on Wednesday. It sounds like she will call on Monday to officially extend the job offer after she finishes checking all my references. This job has hours that will work really well with my son’s school schedule and is only 5 minutes from my house. Praise be to God!
You know, my dear Mother, that every summer, I struggle with my bills. I am in my last month and you and my Lord have been with me. Please do not abandon me now. as this last month, is always my hardest. I pray that you will be with me Today and Always. I love you so.
In gratitude for all the answers to helping me in my journey back to my Faith , also for keeping me focused on changing what I can … myself … leaving in faith those I love to be in God’s Hands … praying for them with Our Holy Mother Mary . I am blessed in having been given the gift of Al-Anon and a great business in helping others & making a difference in others lives with both my business & a part time service job … Seniors Helping Seniors ! I am blessed with the virtue of perseverance in living with a selfish alcoholic who is fooled by the evil one … God strengthens us if we Trust in Him and my pray has been for this & for my family’s need of healing . I hold onto my faith that God is with us all whether we know it or not and I have learned the Power of prayer by my own life & my dad’s witness in prayer ! Thank You Mother Mary for always teaching me to come to Jesus ! Thank you for the many gifts of my life !

I thank You Mother Mary for all you have done for me and my family. you have made me strong in every thing. But I do do need to pray more for all and do more for the church. May God give me the courage to carry my cross which they are many that I have too for the sake of the world. our youth and all these abortions and the elderly that I am so concern, the world want them out because they are not productive anymore. They are our wisdom because the elderly has lived it and has gone through it and they mean well for us, so we need to pray for our gov. and all the higher up’s. this world has every thing we can ask for except peace and faith. our youth our are not in good steps, we are not teaching our children the teaching of our Lord that he left for us. May God help us. May God Bless all his people and our little ones that they are our future and our youth also. Pray ! PRAY! To Our Lady She will pray and protect us .
My pray request was not answered. God works in his own way I know, but it is so hard on the family to live with.
My prayer was answered but not in the way I prayed for or expected. I asked that Our Lady obtain for me the grace of relief from my panic disorder. What I received was not calm or instant relief. What I received was clarity and a realization that I must stop trying to escape the truth and must deal with my depression, fear and lack of trust in Our Lord Jesus Christ. I must also deal with my true feelings about the stress of a job environment with No Values (thank God I have a job, but it is a brutal environment). Finally, I must be honest with Jesus about my feelings being the single parent of a 27 year old daughter with autism who lives with me and is emotionally violent. Truthfully, I have given up on life and dedicated myself to “appearing OK” no matter what the cost. Our Holy Mother cares enough to gently ask me to “get real” and offer the scary truths of my life to Her Son. Thank you Mary!
On or about the third day of this novena, my husband who is sick with cancer and who has been in constant pain for more than two years now, began to feel better. While the pain is still there, it is not as severe as it was before. For this reason, he is gradually reducing the amount of pain killers that he normally takes. Please join me in thanking the Lord for easing his suffering through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, His mother and our mother, too. May God eventually heal my husband completely. I would also like to thank Him for granting the petitions of other members of this prayer community. There is power in prayer and there is power in numbers. Let us continue to pray for each other.
My prayer has been answered,I have done the operation, and my surgen said, it was succesful, I thank the Lord Jesus Christ, the blessed Mother Mary, for giving me the grace, so everything went well, I have to ask her for my daughter, she still strugling with her sickness, I ask our Mother to give her faith, courage and hope, I also pray, that she be more close to God in her trouble’s, the power of prayer, that our Lady told us to Pray, and Pray. Thank you Lord, and our Mother of graces.
Wonderful Novena, although my intention was not answered, I will continue to pray. May God bless us all!
