๐ธ "Vandaag verheugt de hemel zich, want de Koningin wordt verheven!" ๐ธ
Op deze dag vieren we dat de Heilige Maagd Maria, aan het einde van haar aardse leven, met lichaam en ziel werd opgenomen in de hemel. Dit is niet slechts een herinnering, maar een krachtige herinnering aan onze eigen roeping tot eeuwig leven. Maria is ons voorbeeld, onze Moeder en onze voorspreekster in de hemel.
Heilige Maria, opgenomen in de glorie van de hemel, bid voor ons! ๐

๐ "Mary has been taken up into Heaven; the angels rejoice!" ๐
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, when the Mother of God was taken, body and soul, into heavenly glory.
In The Glories of Mary, St. Alphonsus reminds us that Maryโs Assumption is not only her triumph โ it is also our hope. She goes before us, the first to receive in fullness the promise of Christโs Resurrection, and she intercedes for us unceasingly before her Son.
Maryโs Assumption is the crowning of her Immaculate life, her perfect โyesโ to God, and the reward for her union with Jesus in His suffering and glory. From her place in Heaven, she is our Queen and Mother, guiding us toward our eternal home.
๐ O Mary, assumed into Heaven, pray for us, that we may join you in the glory of your Son.
