Walk with us toward the celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (August 15) with this novena. Spend a few moments each day contemplating Mary and praying with her.
"As they [the Religious of the Assumption] journey in faith,
Mary, the Mother of Jesus, is there.
In her, one like themselves,
the sisters discover how great
is a woman's capacity for love.
In Mary, all was adoration.
She allowed the Life of the Trinity
gradually to pervade her whole being
until the moment when
the glory of God broke through her weakness
in the mystery of the Assumption."
— from the Prologue of the Rule of Life of the Religious of the Assumption
