This Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary, the mother of Jesus and the Church is assumed into heaven at the end of her earthly life. Not only is Mary honoured for her YES to be the Mother of God, but she is the fulfillment of the Church. Our Blessed Mother teaches us faithfulness, discipleship and the heavenly rewards that are given to all of us who courageously follow Christ.
