Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary | August 15, 2025 | Bishop Burbidge Homily

"Today with the Universal Church, we affirm our belief that Mary is the model disciple, the one freed from the corruption of the grave — the one who is the Queen of Heaven and Earth." In his homily for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Bishop Burbidge highlights how this great feast reminds us how we, like Mary, must daily cooperate with God's grace, offering others charity, compassion, and companionship along the way. May we call upon Mary always and ask for her intercession to stand steadfast by the cross of her Son, uniting our sufferings to his.
