MEssage from our MinistersThe Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God.
- Revelation 12:6 They are borne in with gladness and joy; they enter the palace of the king. - Psalm 45:16 . . . in Christ shall all be brought to life. . . . - 1 Corinthians 15:22 The Almighty has done great things for me. . . . - Luke 1:49 God created us out of love, prepares a place for us, gives us life, and sustains us throughout our journey. For our part we consent to God’s presence and action in our lives. What will we do this week to deepen our relationship with our good and gracious God? How will our “soul [proclaim] the greatness of the Lord; [our] spirit [rejoice] in God [our] savior” (Luke 1:46)? Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María

AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. Sincerely, Fr. Mark PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF MASS - COVID-19

Gospel Meditation / Fr. Mark's Reflection
They are courageous, wise women who ground us, focus us, and inspire us. They are the good mothers who walk with us and light our way. They teach us life lessons and help us heal and navigate through challenges and difficulties. We need people to point the way. Sometimes, these wise ladies are not our biological mothers but women in our lives, who through their strong and faithful presence, anchor us and remind us that we are loved. We need these women. Human beings do their best when they have cheerleaders in their lives. They show us that even when facing despair, there is always a brighter tomorrow. Jesus needed his mother. She had to be that faithful anchor, that guiding presence, in his life. Jesus needed to be affirmed and encouraged just like any other human being and Mary had to be there, right by his side, doing precisely that. Even when her heart was pierced as he was nailed to the cross, she did not give up hope. Most certainly, she continued to wait, watch, hope, and love until he took his final breath. That’s what mothers do. Even when their heart breaks, they persevere. Today, our Blessed Mother is our cheerleader once again. Taken up to heaven in body and soul, she points to and directs us toward our final destiny. Life eternal awaits! Any disappointment, fear, or anxiety can be set aside as she gently reassures us of God’s love and promise. Always a mother filled with grace and hope, she calls us to reaffirm our faith in God and in the gifts we have each been given. We can persevere and do what we need to do to live life well, with faith, hope, and love as our guiding lights. Knowing who we are and who we will one day be helps us to better chart the course and direction of our earthly lives. Looking to the example of our Blessed Mother, we receive the assurance we need. ©LPi MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO / MENSAJE DE FR. MARK: La Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María Toda la Liturgia de hoy está llena de un profundo sentido de alegría. La antífona de entrada es un ejemplo de ello: “Alegrémonos todos en el Señor y alabemos al Hijo de Dios junto con los ángeles, al celebrar hoy la Asunción al cielo de nuestra Madre la Virgen María”. A este ambiente de gozo se unen las tres lecturas. El Apocalipsis nos describe, a vivos colores, la misteriosa visión de la mujer y el dragón. La Primera carta a los Corintios afirma la resurrección de los muertos y nuestra esperanza de resucitar. El Evangelio de San Lucas nos llena de gozo al escuchar la apertura y confianza de María a los planes de Dios en ella. El Papa Francisco agrega estos puntos de reflexión con referencia a esta Solemnidad: “La Iglesia hoy nos invita a contemplar este misterio. Este nos muestra que Dios quiere salvar al hombre por completo, alma y cuerpo. --- La asunción de María, criatura humana, nos da la confirmación de nuestro destino glorioso. --- Nuestro cuerpo, transfigurado, estará allí. Esto --- la resurrección de la carne --- es un elemento propio de la revelación cristiana, una piedra angular de nuestra fe” (8/15/2018). Mientras llega este día de ver a Dios cara a cara, me uno a María y proclamo la grandeza del Todopoderoso: “Proclama mi alma la grandeza del Señor, y mi espíritu se alegra en Dios mi Salvador, porque se fijó en su humilde esclava, y desde ahora todas las generaciones me llamaran feliz” (Lucas 1:46-47). Pidamos a la Virgen María, en esta Eucaristía, que interceda ante su Hijo por nosotros. ©LPi PrayerspRAYER FOR THE sICK

1150 – 1224
Feast Day: August 19 For 20 years, this Oratorian priest preached the basics of the faith to unschooled Catholics across northern France, distinguishing himself especially by serving the sick during epidemics of the plague. But in 1643 he left the French Oratory and with companions founded a new congregation of priests whose charism was the training of priests. The Congregation of Jesus and Mary, also called Eudists, was reconstituted after the French Revolution and today specializes in secondary education. John, devout from childhood, helped spread devotion to the Sacred Heart and was the first to call for an official feast day. He also organized an order of nuns to care for former prostitutes. He was canonized in 1925. Copyright © 2021, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC. All rights reserved. |
