August 15, 2014: Assumption of Mary

This feast commemorates when Mary was taken up into Heaven in body and soul.

It's an occasion for us to recall to mind our own resurrection that we experience as people of faith in God.  By dying and rising to life with Christ now in our Earthly pilgrimage, living as disciples, as did Mary, we share in the hope that one day we will enter Eternal Life in God's presence.  From God comes salvation, and through Christ, we experience it fully.  And we are full of joy, as were Mary and Elizabeth in the Gospel reading.
