Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven. It is one of the great Marian Solemnities of the Catholic Church and one topic I have written about quite often since the inception of this blog in late January 2012. Below you will find links to the seven blog posts on the Assumption of Mary, some that come from my weekly series – “Mondays with Mary.”

I hope you enjoy them, learn from them, and share them with others. They are listed from the most recent to the first one I wrote in August 2012.
