The Assumption of Mary: Lessons for social justice

The Assumption of Mary, celebrated on August 15, commemorates the belief that the Virgin Mary, having completed her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory. This feast day is more than a celebration of Mary’s unique role in salvation history; it offers profound insights into social justice, emphasizing the dignity of the human person, the call to serve the marginalized, and the ultimate destiny of humanity.
