Signum magnum appáruit in cælo: múlier amícta sole, et luna sub pédibus eius, et in cápite eius coróna stellárum duódecim.
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon beneath her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Or:
Gaudeámus omnes in Dómino, diem festum celebrántes sub honóre Maríæ Vírginis, de cuius Assumptióne gaudent Angeli, et colláudant Fílium Dei.
Let us all rejoice in the Lord, as we celebrate the feast day in honor of the Virgin Mary, at whose Assumption the Angels rejoice and praise the Son of God.
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. Through our Lord.
Rv 11:19a; 12:1–6a, 10ab
A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have salvation and power come, and the Kingdom of our God and the authority of his Anointed One.”
R. The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
Astitit regína a dextris tuis ornáta auro ex Ophir.
The queen takes her place at your right hand in gold of Ophir.
R.
Hear, O daughter, and see; turn your ear,
forget your people and your father’s house.
R.
So shall the king desire your beauty;
for he is your lord.
R.
They are borne in with gladness and joy;
they enter the palace of the king.
R.
1 Cor 15:20–27
Assúmpta est María in cælum: gaudet exércitus angelórum.
Mary is taken up to heaven, and the angels of God shout for joy.
Lk 1:39–56
And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.”
Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.

VIDEO COMMENTARY
TOPIC: WHY DO WE CELEBRATE THE FEAST OF THE SOLEMNITY OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY?
Today we celebrate the feast of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Catholics believe that when she died, Mary went to heaven body and soul, where the Lord exalted her as Queen of Heaven (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #966). We reflect today on Mary’s action in the gospel reading of carrying Jesus in her womb to Elizabeth.
