The Assumption Prayer

Take my hand, O Blessed Mother

hold me firmly lest I fall,

I am nervous when I am walking

and to Thee I humbly call.

Guide me over every crossing

watch me when I am on my way,

listen to my fervent prayer.

Bring me to my destination

safely every single day,

help me with my understanding
