Today is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Not only is this a special feast for all Catholics, but it is also the parish feast day of Church of the Assumption in Nashville.
Almighty ever-living God, who assumed the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the Mother of your Son, body and soul into heavenly glory, grant we pray, that, always attentive to the things that are above, we may merit to be sharers of her glory.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
