I would like to take an opportunity to thank all those who helped to make our parish celebration in honor of the Assumption of Our Lady beautiful. The 40 Hour Devotions were well attended, the Masses were prayerful, the little socials were delightful, but above all the love shown to our Lady was inspirational. St, Mary of the Assumption parish truly is a special place. I pray that we continue to build on the faith that is here. St. Josemaria stated:
“Mary has been taken up to Heaven by God in body and soul, and the angels rejoice.” Joy overtakes both angels and men. Why is it that we feel today this intimate delight, with our heart brimming over, with our soul full of peace? Because we are celebrating the glorification of our Mother, and it is only natural that we Her children rejoice in a special way upon seeing how the most Blessed Trinity honors Her.”
Along with the most Blessed Trinity, we have honored our Mother ~ so now let us pray daily that we may be worthy children of so noble a Mother.
