Holy Days of Obligation: The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

I enjoy these days, for they have their own stories, their own prayers, and their own hymns. For a little while, we stop our noisy routines and settle into a contemplation of the mysteries.

OurLady of Ledo

It is the will of God that we should have nothing which has not passed through the hands of Mary.

– St Bernard of Clairvaux
