Today, August 15, is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Assumption completes God’s work in the Blessed Mother since it was not fitting that the flesh that had given life to God Himself should ever undergo corruption.
The Assumption is God’s crowning of His work as Mary ends her earthly life and enters eternity. The feast turns our eyes in that direction, where we will follow when our earthly life is over.
