This Feast day celebrates the belief that the Virgin Mary entered heaven both body and soul following her death. Mary began her motherhood by responding to God’s call with the simply and yet profound answer of “Yes”. What does this really mean for us today?
It is opportune to consider our relationships with others, particularly our Mothers or those who hold a special place in our lives. How do we make memories? How are we present to each other and how does this play out in our lives, particularly during the most challenging of moments, just like it would have been for Mary at the foot of the Cross?
When do we say ‘Yes’ to challenges that will benefit others and that are beyond ego?
