Prologue: This feast originated in Jerusalem before the fifth century as the "Falling-Asleep of the Mother of God." It was adopted in Rome in the mid-seventh century and was renamed the "Assumption" in the eighth century. It celebrates Mary's passing over, body and soul, from this world into the glory of her risen Son. The foretaste and forerunner of what will be the reward of all the faithful at the fullness of the resurrection on the last day.
Mary is an ideal example of someone who cooperated with God's plans… and as a result, allowed God to do great things through her life and actions….// . and Look at the wonders the Holy Spirit of God can achieve when we are open to God's plan in our lives….
Look at the incredible grace, love and fruit that is produced from saying "YES" to what God wants to achieve through us in the world…..
Mary stands as a wonderful inspiration of human faithfulness, obedience, respect and humility…. Mary's yes, allowed her to become a willing part of God's plan in the world…..
let us never say, "what can I contribute…. what good is what I have to give, compared with the enormity of the needs, the challenges… and the demands of this world…." rather…. like Mary, may we be further inspired to say… yes, Lord….. you are great and good…… you can achieve all things (and a significant part of what God achieves, is also "in and through" the people God has invited to cooperate in God's work……….
Mary is like…. (we are all like) a writing instrument in the hand of our most artistic God…… if we allow ourselves to be the channel through which God's good news, love, justice and forgiveness is experienced…
"Wouldn't it be great to be a clear mirror of the graciousness, peace and love of Christ…. whenever we do act or speak in ways that allow Jesus' message to flow through us, it is an enormous source of blessing and good….. Sadly sometimes, because we experience limitations, weakness and fragility…. we can block that graciousness and our actions and values can block the healing, the care and the compassion that God is trying to create in and through us…..
Let us pray that Jesus will show us how to allow ourselves to be more and more the light of Christ to each other and to all….
May Mary, who shows us an openness and generosity to God….. and pre-figures the destiny of all who hope in Jesus' promises, continue to inspire us to make a difference…. and say "yes" to God's values in all we do, (at home, at work, in the classrooms and workplaces.. in formal and social situations, and in the community….)
Blessed Virgin Mary, Assumed body and soul into heaven, pray for us, that we may be made worthy of the sure promises of Christ.
Amen.
