The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Oh Mary Immaculate, you assumed into heaven
You are the Divine Ladder brought Son of God into the world
You are the living Ark of the Covenant
The living Tabernacle, the womb carried Jesus
St John Damascene wrote: It was right that she who had kept her virginity unimpaired through the process of giving birth should have kept her body without decay through death. It was right that she who had given her Creator, as a child, a place at her breast should be given a place in the dwelling-place of her God. It was right that the bride espoused by the Father should dwell in the heavenly bridal chamber. It was right that she who had gazed on her Son on the cross, her heart pierced at that moment by the sword of sorrow that she had escaped at his birth, should now gaze on him seated with his Father. It was right that the Mother of God should possess what belongs to her Son and be honoured by every creature as God’s Mother and handmaid.
Oh Mary, today you were taken into heaven
Jesus has carried you in his arms
And lifted you up into heaven
Presented to The Father in Heaven
Heaven and earth rejoiced today
God has lifted you up in the Spirit
You are sitting beside Him,
Blessed by Trinity, made you Queen of Heaven and earth
The Angels and Saints rejoice today
Men on earth to have a Mother in heaven to intercede
Ave Ave Maria !!
