In two days we will celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption.
Here are some fervent thoughts on this Feast by St. Francis de Sales:
“O feast full of marvels which makes devout souls, the true daughters of Zion, cry out in admiration, “Who is this coming up from the desert?” And indeed these facts are admirable: The Mother of Life is dead; death is resurrected and ascends to the abode of life. What a feast of consolation! She has ascended for the honor of her Son and to arouse in us a great devotion.”
