Mary and Assumption
Faith and victory
Earthquakes, of belief and societal order and civility
Calamities, physical and natural
Believing as did she we look up and beyond
To her: crowned with glory shared in and given by Her Son
our Lord
We look beyond the tragedies and betrayals
The sin and death of this world
And see the promise, life and joy of the next
Our faith is for us
As for Her
A lodestar
A compass on storm-tossed seas
The goal of all our prayers and striving
The reason for and motive of our faith
In Christ
She shows us the way
In her assumption
We see and know already the redemption fulfilled for all
And now we go on
In prayer she accompanies
Rosary
At the foot of the Cross, at every holy Mass, she prays with
us
Carrying our crosses as she shared so greatly in His
Persevering despite worldly discouragement and temptation to
despair
We trust
As she did
And we will triumph
As does she
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse
to Thee
Pray for us now and at the hour of our death
Amen.
