This weekend we celebrate the Feast of the Assumption

The Feast day highlights Mary's deep faith that enabled her to recognise the work of God  in her own life. God chose her to be the mother of his son, Jesus. We honour Mary as the first great believer and follower of Jesus.    Because of her faithfulness she was taken up body and soul to be with Jesus in heaven – 'Assumed'.  

When we celebrate the Feast of the Assumption, we pray that we too will we be like Mary, open to God's plan for each of us.
