Dear Friend,
Today is the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary. We celebrated Mass today at 8:30am and as the liturgical calendar falls, by this evening's 4:00pm vigil Mass, we have already moved on to the Twentieth Sunday of Ordinary Time.
But that leaves us today to be reminded of the full journey Mary made in her life and to seek her intercession. Not only did she say "yes" to God's calling in giving birth to Jesus, but she witnessed to Him through his dying and rising from the dead, and through the end of her life when she was assumed body and soul into heaven.
As we begin to look toward the return of students to school, may we be inspired by Mary, assumed into heaven, and ask that she continue to intercede for us.
