I suspect every one of us can admit to having been afraid.
Mary may have been the Mother of God, but I doubt she did not know fear.
he feast of the Assumption holds great hope for us.
With her Assumption into heaven, she finally understood how everything made sense.
Among the lessons of this feast is that all the things we can not understand now will one day be clear to us. She teaches us to trust that one day we will all understand the things that we can not understand and even rail against. Blessed is she who believed.

I never thought of making an examination of conscience in connection with the feast of the Assumption of Mary.
