On August 15, the Church joyfully celebrates that Mary, Mother of God, was assumed body and soul into heaven. This dogma, proclaimed by Pope Pius XII, confirms that Mary did not know the corruption of the tomb, because she lived fully united to Christ.
The Assumption is a promise and a prophecy: What God has done in her, he will also do with us if we remain faithful. Therefore, this solemnity is also a feast of hope, consolation and victory.
By offering Mass on the Solemnity of the Assumption, you unite yourself to the glory of Mary and present, through her hands, your intentions to the heart of her Son. But, in addition, your offering supports priests who celebrate the Eucharist in places where the Church suffers persecution or extreme poverty.
Each Mass offered is a light in the midst of darkness.
The Mass is the greatest gift we can offer.
Allow a priest, supported by your generosity, to celebrate a Eucharist for your intention during this Marian Solemnity. Your supplication will be heard at the altar, and it will also be a relief and hope for communities in need.
Most Holy Virgin, Assumed into heaven,
you who were gloriously received by the angels,
intercede for us before your Son.
Grant us the grace to live with faith,
to walk with hope
and to love with a pure heart.
Heavenly Queen, obtain for us peace in the world
and conversion of hearts.
Amen.
«I invite you all, together with ACN, to do a work of mercy in every part of the world.»
