Our Lord could have left us only with the pledge of his own resurrection, Easter in April, hope of eternal life. But he has given us too the pledge of his mohter's Assumption, Easter in August, additional hope of eternal life: the woman as well as the man, the handmaid as well as the Lord, the Church as well as the Christ, creation as well as Creator.Source: Hugh Gilbert OSB, previously Abbot of Pluscarden and about to be Bishop of Aberdeen, quoted in Magnificat.
