On August 15th, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This feast commemorates the moment when Mary, the mother of Jesus, was assumed body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life.

The Assumption highlights Mary's unique role in salvation history as the Mother of God and her sinless life. It is a day to reflect on the hope of our own resurrection and the promise of eternal life with God. As we honor Mary, we are reminded of her faith, humility, and obedience, virtues that we are called to emulate in our own lives.

Let us join together in prayer and thanksgiving, seeking Mary's intercession as we strive to follow her example of unwavering faith and devotion to God.
