Today, Monday August 15th 2022 is The Feast of The Assumption of The Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven.

The Assumption of The Virgin Mary (Peter-Paul Rubens)

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,

Hail our life,
our sweetness and our hope.

To thee do we
cry,

Poor banished
children of Eve;

To thee do we
send up our sighs,

Mourning and
weeping in this valley of tears.

Turn then, most
gracious advocate,

Thine eyes of
mercy toward us;

And after this
our exile,

Show unto us the
blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

O clement, O
loving,

O sweet Virgin
Mary.

(Latin Text)

Adhemar de Monteil +
1098 and St Bernard +1153

Salve, Regina,
Mater misericordiæ,

vita, dulcedo,
et spes nostra, salve.

Ad te clamamus
exsules filii Hevæ,

Ad te
suspiramus, gementes et flentes

in hac
lacrimarum valle.

Eia, ergo,
advocata nostra, illos tuos

misericordes
oculos ad nos converte;

Et Jesum,
benedictum fructum ventris tui,

nobis post hoc
exsilium ostende.

O clemens, O
pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

A beautiful rendition of this most beautiful Hymn:

We celebrated it yesterday, Sunday 14th, here in England and Wales as did other countries. It has to be one of my favourite feasts. For centuries this feast has been known as Easter in Summer. In England today was also known as Our Lady of the Harvest. It was a favourite dedication for many Catholic churches in England until we lost them at the Reformation. The English parliament banned the feast in 1549 depriving many of their hitherto patronal feast.

There are these wonderful words from St John Henry Newman about Our Lady:

Her divine Son loved her too much to let her body remain in the grave. She was dear to Our Lord as a mother is dear to a son.

But she was also so transcendentally holy, so full, so overflowing with grace. Was her comeliness to be turned into corruption? Was her fine gold to become dim? Impossible! Therefore Our Lord himself by his almighty power has raised her.

Our TLM-dedicated diocesan priest is celebrating a Latin Mass for the Assumption this evening. Diocesan regulations prohibit a TLM from being celebrated in the same parish unless a Novus Ordo Mass is also celebrated that day (our bishop presently dispenses from the TC requirement for TLMs not to be celebrated in parish churches), so the pastor of this parish, who celebrates the Novus Ordo as well as the occasional TLM, is going to offer a Novus Ordo Mass earlier today so that there can be a TLM in the evening. He is very supportive of us, and having both Masses co-existing doesn't even begin to be a problem. Reserved Hosts from both forms are used interchangeably, and those who commit the error of questioning the validity of the NOM (or of post-V2 orders) just don't go to this parish.

"...respect must everywhere be shown for the feelings of all those who are attached to the Latin liturgical tradition, by a wide and generous application of the directives already issued some time ago by the Apostolic See for the use of the Roman Missal according to the typical edition of 1962." --- Pope St John Paul II, Ecclesia Dei, 1988

Good to hear that the TLM is surviving in some places and especially with the support of the local bishop.
