TODAY IS THE FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY INTO HEAVEN

And while the Archdiocese of Agana does not regard it as a Holy Day of obligation (maybe our new bishop will change that!) I do. And I know many of you do. 

Go to Mass. This is Mary. Our Mother. The "Woman" of Genesis 3:15. The "Immaculate Conception." Conceived without sin so her body could never know corruption. 

The DOGMA of the Assumption of Mary was proclaimed on the Feast of All Saints, November 1, 1950, in the APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION OF POPE PIUS XII: MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS. Read it. It is beautiful. 

I also share with you my column about the Assumption of Mary published in the Umatuna in August of 2011: Dealing with some assumptions about the Assumption of Mary
