August 15, 2019: Assumption of Mary

I find much meaning in this feast because it hearkens back to Easter Resurrection Sunday.

As Christ, the Head, has arisen from the dead, so we hope to have our own Resurrection, redeemed in both soul and body.

As the first disciple, Mary has experienced this fullness of Resurrection by being assumed body and soul into Heaven.

We live in hope of the power of God that is to work in us in death through the final day of Resurrection.

We rejoice that by the power of the Resurrection, the corruption of sin that works against our bodies is reversed.

Together with Mary, we magnify the Lord Who brings us Life and hope of the fullness of Life one day.
