Today is the Feast of the Assumption. Our Development Director shared this on our social media so I thought it would be nice to share it on our blog. Happy Feast of the Assumption.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.
Mary’s Assumption is the preview of God’s
promise of salvation to the Faithful. It asserts that the souls of those who
will be saved shall one day, after the end of the world, be reunited with their
bodies and live forever with God, just as Mary is in Heaven now with both her
body and soul.
It was Mary who first shared in the fruit of
the Risen Jesus. She was assumed into Heaven even before the end of the world
since she was the most united with Our Lord in His life, Passion, Death and
Resurrection.
Just imagine the joy Mary must have felt when
she realizes God’s love for her. This light and happiness carried Mary through
all of her sorrows. She never fails to be a perfect example of how to bring
love and joy into the darkest places. In our struggles, we, like Mary, can find
the light of Christ in order to persevere.
Mary understood what it meant to do the will
of God. We are called to imitate Mary as we try to spread God’s message and
carry His love to all. Just as Mary radiated her son’s light and love, we are
each called to emulate her and bring that joy into the world and shine with the
fire of Christ’s love.
