Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sunday

Every Sunday is a little Easter, the Lord’s Day, when the Church gathers for the Eucharist. Ordinary Time (from “ordinal,” counted weeks) follows the public life and teaching of Jesus, week by week.

Readings of the day

Glorious Mysteries

Fourth Mystery: The Assumption of Mary

The Assumption of Mary card
“The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.”Pope Pius XII, Munificentissimus Deus (1950)

At the end of her earthly life, the Blessed Virgin Mary is taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven, sharing first in her Son’s Resurrection. The Church solemnly defined this truth in 1950.

Fruit of the mystery: Grace of a happy death

The Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
