Sunday Mass Readings

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

August 15, 2021

“The Queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.” Ps. 45
https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/081521-Day.cfm

This Sunday, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary .
As a solemnity, it holds a higher rank and so replaces the 20th Sunday in Ordinary
Time. Pope Francis tells us that “The wondrous reality of the Assumption of Mary
reveals and confirms the unity of the human person and reminds us that we are called
to serve and glorify God with our whole being, soul and body” (Angelus message,
August 15, 2018). Just as Mary’s body and soul are united in Heaven, our bodies will be
reunited with our souls in Heaven at the Final Judgment.
