Prayer of Peace at the Abbey of the Dormition
Where the Mother of Jesus rested - and still cradles every weary soul in gracious hope.
Perched on Mount Zion, the Dormition Abbey marks the place where, according to ancient Christian tradition, the Virgin Mary “fell asleep” in serene trust and was taken into heavenly glory. Pilgrims come here seeking Mary’s tender intercession for deep peace, protection, and a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit—believing that the quiet that enveloped her final earthly breath can still hush anxious hearts today.
“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” – Luke 1:46‑47
“Woman, behold your son… Behold your mother.” – John 19:26‑27
Why send your prayer to the Dormition Abbey?
Maternal intercession – entrust your needs to the same mother who carried God’s promise and now carries yours.
Sanctuary of rest – in the place of her holy “sleep,” we ask heaven to wrap you in lasting calm and renewed strength.
Spirit of Pentecost – Mount Zion echoes with the first outpouring of the Spirit (Acts 2); your request joins that ongoing grace.
