Assumption

Today is the Blessed Assumption of the Ever-Virgin Mary into heaven. According to the "City of God", by Mary of Agreda, she died on the 13th of August, a Friday, at 3:00pm. She was in repose until Sunday morning, when she was raised and escorted into Heaven by Her Son. Sound familiar? This is truly a day to celebrate, since the 13th was Friday, and today is the 15th. This is The Day!!!!!
Along with Jesus, there was thousands of Saints, Patriarches, Prophets, and myriads of Angels accompanying Him. What a celebration that must have been, huh!? She followed Her Son in everything throughout her life, even unto death. She pretty much started the Way of The Cross, when she, along with St. John, would trace all of the steps Jesus did on His way to The Cross, stopping at each significant spot.
According to the "City of God" again, she lived to be seventy years of age. She looked, however, the same as she was at the age of 33. She never aged beyond that year.

Oh Holy Mary, pray for us, now and at the hour of our death.
And, please escort into Heaven those for whom we now pray.

Thank you Jesus. What a Glorious day this is!
