ASSUMPTION of the BLESSED MARY VIRGIN Solemnity
Monday 15th August – Masses – 8.30am and 7.00pm
The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is always celebrated on August 15 is universally accepted by the Roman Catholic Church as a holy day of obligation.
A precept of the Church explains, “On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass.” One of the chief reasons behind these holy days is to highlight a specific aspect of the life of Christ or to give honour to the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the communion of saints.
This feast day remembers the reality, solemnly defined by Pope Pius XII, “that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.”
It is a reminder of the final resurrection and shows the tender care Jesus had for his mother, not allowing her mortal body to suffer corruption.
Since it is a holy day of obligation, Holy Mass will be celebrated on Monday August 15, at 8.30am and 7.00pm here at St Simon Peter Church.
