Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary: the moment when Mary was taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven.  It’s a day marked by one of God’s most wonderful gifts, hope.  In view of what her son Jesus would do, Mary was born without the stain of original sin, a perfect vessel to bring the Christ into the world.  Because she was without sin, at the moment of her death, she did not have to wait for her body and soul to rise together to heaven.
