THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BVM & WEEKLY ORDO

The Catholic Church and Personal Parish of Our Lady of Walsingham with Saint Cuthbert Mayne

THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY DWSM Propers &Readings p.1187 THE INTROIT HYMN SING we of the blessed Mother Who received the angel's word, And obedient to his summons Bore in love the infant Lord; Sing we of the joys of Mary At whose breast that child was fed Who is Son of God eternal And the everlasting Bread.

Sing we, too, of Mary's sorrows, Of the sword that pierced her through, When beneath the cross of Jesus She his weight of suffering knew, Looked upon her Son and Saviour Reigning high on Calvary's tree, Saw the price of man's redemption Paid to set the sinner free.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

Sing the chiefest joy of Mary When on earth her work was done, And the Lord of all creation Brought her to his heavenly home: Virgin Mother, Mary blessed, Raised on high and crowned with grace, May your Son, the world's redeemer, Grant us all to see his face.

At your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

OFFERTORY HYMN YE who own the faith of Jesus Sing the wonders that were done, When the love of God the Father O'er our sin the victory won, When he made the Virgin Mary Mother of his only Son. Hail Mary, hail Mary, hail Mary, full of grace.

Wherefore let all faithful people Tell the honour of her name, Let the Church in her foreshadowed Part in her thanksgiving claim; What Christ's Mother sang in gladness Let Christ's people sing the same.

Let us weave our supplications, she with us and we with her, for the advancement of the faithful, for each faithful worshiper, for the doubting, for the sinful, for each heedless wanderer.

May the Mother's intercessions on our homes a blessing win, that the children all be prospered, strong and fair and pure within, following our Lord's own footsteps, firm in faith and free from sin.

Praise, O Mary, praise the Father, Praise thy Saviour and thy Son, Praise the everlasting Spirit, Who hath made thee ark and throne; O'er all creatures high exalted, Lowly praise the Three in One. COMMUNION HYMN VIRGIN-BORN, we bow before thee: Blessèd was the womb that bore thee; Mary, Mother meek and mild, Blessèd was she in her Child.

Blessèd was the breast that fed thee; Blessèd was the hand that led thee; Blessèd was the parent's eye That watched thy slumbering infancy.

Blessèd she by all creation, Who brought forth the world's salvation, And blessed they-for ever blest, Who love thee most and serve thee best.

Virgin-born, we bow before thee: Blessèd was the womb that bore thee; Mary, Mother meek and mild, Blessed was she in her Child.

After the Dismissal PRAYER OF ST MICHAEL Holy Michael, Archangel, defend us in the day of battle.

Be thou our defence against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust down to hell Satan, and all wicked spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

O Immaculate Virgin, mother of God and mother of humanity, we believe with all the fervour of our faith in your triumphal assumption both in body and in soul into heaven where you are acclaimed as queen by all the choirs of angels and all the legions of saints; we unite with them to praise and bless the Lord who has exalted you above all other pure creatures and to offer you the tribute of our devotion and our love.

We know that your gaze, which on earth watched over the humble and suffering humanity of Jesus, in heaven is filled with the vision of that humanity glorified and with the vision of uncreated wisdom, and that the joy of your soul in the direct contemplation of the adorable trinity causes your heart to throb with overwhelming tenderness; and we, poor sinners whose body weights down the flight of the soul, beg you to purify our hearts so that, while we remain below, we may learn to see God and God alone in the beauties of his creatures.

We trust that your merciful eyes may deign to gaze down upon our miseries and anguish, upon our struggles and our weaknesses; that

your countenance may smile upon our joys and our victories; that you may hear the voice of Jesus saying to you of each one of us, as he once said to you of his beloved disciple: "Behold you son," and we who call upon you as our mother, we, like John, take you as the guide, strength and consolation of our mortal life.

We are inspired by the certainty that your eyes, which wept over the earth crimsoned by the blood of Jesus, are yet turned toward this world racked by wars and persecutions, the oppression of the just and the weak. From the shadows of this vale of tears, we seek in your heavenly assistance, tender mercy, comfort for our aching hearts, and help in the trials of Church and country.

We believe finally that in the glory where you reign, clothed with the sun and crowned with stars, you are, after Jesus, the joy and gladness of all the angels and the saints, and from this earth, over which we tread as pilgrims, comforted by our faith in the future resurrection, we look to you our life, our sweetness, our hope; draw us onward with the sweetness of your voice, so that one day, after our exile, you may show us Jesus, the blessed fruit of your womb.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Amen.

Pope Pius X 14/08/22
