Vigil of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
O God, Who chose for Your dwelling the virginal womb of the blessed Mary, grant, we beseech You, that, with the help of her protection, we may with joy take part in her festival.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
R. Amen
