Recently, we were discussing the (then upcoming) feast of the Assumption at table. Sr. Elaine, who had been a teacher for a time, shared that this was the day on which they would travel to their school assignments for the new year. She did not remember all the details, but recalled that they used to recite an antiphon a number of times: “Mary has been assumed into heaven: the angels rejoice. They sing for joy and praise the Lord.” Read more…
 
One of my favourite feast days.

]Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus.
Sancta Maria mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen
