Today, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, one of the great feasts of our faith.
For countless Catholics around the world, Mary remains a model of humility, trust in God, and faithful service to others. Her Assumption reminds us that hope is at the heart of the Christian life and that God's promises are always fulfilled.
Last year at his Angelus Greeting on the Feast of the Assumption, Pope Leo XIV shared this wisdom, “While we journey forward, as individuals, families, and communities, especially when the clouds come and the road seems difficult and uncertain, let us lift our gaze, let us look at her, our Mother, and we will rediscover the hope that does not disappoint.” Let us lift our heads to Mary in hope!
Wishing all who celebrate a blessed and peaceful Feast of the Assumption.
