<p class="title_brown">The assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary</p>

<p class="normal_text"><br />
We contemplate the mystery of <em>the assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary</em>, meditating on the words from the Book of the Apocalypse:</p>

<p class="quote">A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.<br />
[Ap 12,1]</p>

<p class="normal_text">Mary had always her gaze towards heaven and her hands towards the earth. Her action in favor of humanity &ndash; the most eloquent prayer translated in the &ldquo;fiat&rdquo;, in the &ldquo;magnificat&rdquo; and in many other words in favor of men &ndash; had as horizon a life in God. Consistent with her configuration with Christ, she has already reached the fullness of salvation. As image of the Church, Mary assumes herself as the pre-configuration of the resurrection destined to the members of the Body of Christ.<br />
In Fatima, we also see the guarantee that humanity can fully associate itself to God, because, on top of the holmoak, we see the first human heart illuminated by the light of Christ: Most Holy Mary, in her being, she is the first creature to reach salvation.<br />
Virgin of Fatima, Lady of the Assumption, intercede for us next to Christ so that we may reach eternal life.</p>
