20th Sunday in Ordinary Time

"Let us not lose sight of Jesus, who leads us in our faith and brings it to perfection." (Heb 12: 2)

He is the Truth.  Seek Him in the Kingdom of Anxiety;  You will come to a great city that has expected your return for year.  (WH Auden, Prayer for the Time Being.)

The Assumption of Mary - 15th August

The doctrine of Mary’s Assumption into heaven, celebrated on 15 August, reflects the long insistence on the importance of Mary in the Catholic Church.  The feast of the Assumption is for all Catholics. Its meaning has been caught in a later feast instituted by Pope Francis for a more inclusive Church, Mary Mother of the Church. It focuses on Mary’s links to us as well as to God, and also points to the links that unite all Christians and all Churches. The Feast of the Assumption enlivens our hope that we shall be with Christ as Mary now is. It promises that after the struggles and losses of this life that we shall find happiness and companionship with God.

Prayer 

Father in heaven, 

all creation rightly gives you praise, for all life and all holiness come from you. 

In the plan of your wisdom she who bore the Christ in her womb was raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven.

May we follow her example in reflecting your holiness and join in her hymn of endless love and praise.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

God bless,

Mrs Wendy Rheinberger
