*Friday is the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary into heaven. The doctrine as outlined in 1950 states "that 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." (https://www.vatican.va/content/pius-xii/en/apost_constitutions/documents/hf_p-xii_apc_19501101_munificentissimus-deus.html par. 44)
Mary's life and assumption give us hope that if we follow Christ we too will be reunited with him in heaven, body and soul, at the Second Coming.
