Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which marks the culmination of Mary's life on earth. The Church believes that Mary, having reached the end of her earthly life, was assumed into heaven by God, both in body and soul. One temptation that might strike us with this event is, "What does this have to do with me?" Or, "Who cares?" Today we talk about why the Assumption is actually deeply meaningful for us, providing for us a source of hope and consolation.
