Metropolitan Cathedral of the
Assumption of Mary, Mexico City
...
Father, all-powerful and ever-living God,
we do well always and everywhere to give You thanks
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Today the virgin Mother of God was taken up into heaven
to be the beginning and the pattern of the Church in its
perfection,
and a sign of hope and comfort for your people on their
pilgrim way.
You would not allow decay to touch her body,
for she had given birth to Your Son,
the Lord of all life,
in the glory of the incarnation.
In our joy we sing to Your glory with all the choirs of
angels:
Holy, holy, holy Lord,
God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
