August 15th is the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary!

This event is commemorated in the 4th Glorious Mystery so this feast day is a good time to pray that Mystery of the Rosary!

Here are a few reflections on this beautiful Feast [excerpts from our prayer book The Rosary of Saint John Paul II]:

  • In Heaven, Mary “already shares in the glory of her Son’s Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of His body” (CCC 974)
  • Mary “shines forth on earth until the day of the Lord shall come, a sign of certain hope and comfort to the pilgrim people of God” (CCC 972)
  • “The Father blessed Mary more than any other created person in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places” (CCC 492)
