Rev 11:19; 12:1-6,10; Psalm 45 The queen stands at your right hand arrayed in gold 1 corinthians 15:20-27,Lk 1:39-56
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary body and soul into heaven.
God brings Mary to be fully united with her son.
She does not suffer the corruption of death.
This celebration points us to our ultimate destiny; it reminds us what redemption is about: union of body and soul with God forever.
As we ponder the beauty of the Blessed Mother and seek to give her the honor due here are few words of poem that have always struck a chord with me:
"may our reach always be beyond our grasp, otherwise, what is a heaven for."
It is by the power and grace of God through Christ that heaven is made not only possible but accessible as we see this reality in the Blessed Mother herself.
