In July through mid-August, we decided to do something we rarely do, take a break from producing and posting our content to rest. More reflections to come on rest shortly. But we return from our rest just as Mary goes to join the Father in her Eternal Rest. Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Happy Assumption! As we do, we have turned to some of our favorite souls that have joined her in Heaven, sharing the best saint quotes on Mary.
The Best Saint Quotes on Mary
