ASSUMPTION. The day on which the Blessed Virgin Mary was taken to heaven, body and soul, after her death. The feast of the Assumption is on. August 15th.
The Assumption celebrated Mary's total redemption in Christ. As He rose, so He raised her up before the rest of us. Our redemption, though started, has to go on from day to day. Filled with Christ's grace, we are called to the same total redemption.
In Christ, we are to rise again. How much like him we are to be, will depend on our response to His grace. Our life will be consequent on our response, since His goodness to us is only limited by our willingness to respond. In the Eucharist we show thanksgiving, humbly like Mary, proclaiming the greatness of the Lord. If we are hungry for Him, He will give us every good thing.
