Today begins the Novena in honor

of Our Lady's Assumption!

We will end the Novena on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15th.

• For the needs and intentions of all those praying this Novena

• For reparation to the Blessed Mother for all blasphemies against the most Holy Name of Mary and Her Son particularly those against the Blessed Sacrament

Please say a "Hail Mary" after each of the salutations to Our Lady.

Direct, we beseech Thee, O Lord, our actions by Thy grace and assistance, that our every prayer and work may begin from Thee and end with Thee.
