FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION
This week we celebrated the Feast of the Assumption of Mary into heaven. This is a very special Holy Day of Obligation as it is the one and only time that this has happened. Where God showed that his love for Mary was so strong that he brought her to heaven BODY AND SPIRIT.
At home, you may want to share in a prayer for this special Feast day too.
A Reading from the Gospel of Luke
Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
We pray together
R: For all who are lowly and poor
A: Pray for us, holy Mother of God.
R: For all women, made in the image and likeness of God
A: Pray for us, holy Mother of God.
R: For mothers, nurturers of the image of God in their children
A: Pray for us, holy Mother of God.
R: For those who have died sharing, with Mary, Christ’s glory
A: Pray for us, holy Mother of God.
R: For all of us disciples of Jesus, your Son
A: Pray for us, holy Mother of God.

Our Gospel passage this weekend is a special acknowledgement of Jesus that reaffirms our faith and purpose in going to Mass each week. That those who listen to the word and eat of his body (Holy Communion) has eternal life with our physical and spiritual body nourished.
May God bless you and keep you,
