Assumption Novena of Masses
Please share your prayer intentions for remembrance in our annual Assumption Novena of Masses beginning Thursday, August 6, on which the Church also celebrates the feast of the Transfiguration.
Throughout the nine days, we will call to mind the privilege bestowed upon Mary –– being taken up, “assumed” into heaven, body and soul, declared as official dogma of the Church by Pope Pius XII in 1950.
St. Mary’s of the Barrens Church, home of the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, was lovingly called the “Church of the Assumption” by early parishioners. A majestic depiction of the 4th Glorious Mystery still graces the main Altar. The painting highlights Our Lady’s unique role in the redemption of humanity—Jesus’ own Holy Mother bridges heaven and earth.
Lift up your prayers to God during the Novena of Masses and Solemnity observance. You may also burn a Votive Light as a sign of your spiritual presence with fellow AMM members.
Your intentions will be remembered from August 6-15 at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. We will celebrate Mass on the Solemnity of the Assumption Saturday, August 15, at 12:10 p.m., CT. Oda a la Asunción de María
