"The Feast of the Assumption of Mary [which the Catholic Church celebrates annually on August 15th in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary] is a warning sign: Detach yourselves somewhat from the earth! And Mother Church reminds us that on this feast we should ask God for the grace to strive for the things of heaven. But this day also answers a question that many people ask themselves today: Don't we also have a right to the things of this earth, a right to rest, to pleasure...? Yes, we do have that right, but within certain limits!"
(Albino Luciani / Pope John Paul I)
