Week 4: The Feast of the AssumptionThe Assumption of Mary is a Holy Day of Obligation, and Aotearoa New Zealand’s, national patronal feast. (link from 2016) The Assumption of Mary, body and soul, into heaven is a sign to all believers that life “is not a senseless wandering, but a pilgrimage that, although there are uncertainties and suffering, has a sure goal: the house of the Father, who awaits us with love.” (Pope Francis, 2016)
