Fourth Glorious Mystery: The Assumption of our Lady into Heaven

The Lord prepared Our Lady for sanctity from the first moment of her conception. Her Assumption is God’s seal on the holiness of her life. He calls each one of us to sanctity as well, and he has done so from our conception. In every moment of our lives, he provides the grace that has the potential to lead us to purity and wholeness. Our Lady responded to all of those graces. May we too learn to respond with the same generosity.

Mary was called to fulfil a mission, and she did it so perfectly that she became the first-fruits of the saving power of the resurrection. Each one of us is also called to fulfil a wonderful mission, the unique and personal mission that the Lord has entrusted to each one of us. The Lord has prepared us for this mission all her lives. To discover and accept it, we must become like Mary and say “Let it be done onto me according to your word”.
