"A great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed
with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of
twelve stars"
Collect:
Almighty and everlasting God,
You have taken up body and soul
into the heavenly glory the Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother of Your Son: Grant, we beseech You,
that, ever intent upon heavenly things,
we may be worthy to be partakers of her glory.
Through Jesus Christ Your Son, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
One God, forever and ever. Amen.

"If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in
spite of the gravity of your sins 'you shall receive a never-fading
crown of glory.' Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you
have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as
sorcerers do who practise black magic, and even if you are a heretic as
obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will
amend your life and will save your soul, if-- and mark well what I say--
if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the
purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for
your sins."
-St. Louis de Montfort from The Secret of the Rosary
