Today, the Church joyfully celebrates the πΊππππππππ ππ πππ π¨πππππππππ ππ πππ π©ππππππ
π½πππππ π΄πππ, honoring the glorious mystery that, at the end of her earthly life, Mary was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.
The Assumption has been cherished in the faith and liturgical tradition of the Church since the early centuries of Christianity. On November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII solemnly defined the Assumption as a dogma of faith in Munificentissimus Deus: that the Immaculate Mother of God, having completed the course of her earthly life, was taken up body and soul into the glory of Heaven.
Mary's Assumption is a sign of hope for all Christians. In her, we see the promise of Christ's victory over sin and death and a beautiful reminder of the destiny God prepares for those who remain faithful to Him.
As we celebrate this great Marian solemnity, may Mary, our Mother and Queen of Heaven, lead us ever closer to her Son, Jesus Christ.

O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Mother of the Church, you were assumed body and soul into the glory of Heaven after faithfully fulfilling God's will on earth.
We entrust ourselves to your maternal care. Guide us in the path of holiness, strengthen us in moments of trial, and help us to remain faithful to your Son, Jesus Christ.
Teach us to live with humility, love, and unwavering faith. May your glorious Assumption remind us that our true home is in Heaven and inspire us to persevere in the hope of eternal life.
O Mary, assumed into Heaven, pray for us and lead us closer to Jesus.
Our Lady of the Assumption, pray for us.
Amen.
