The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary


 In the Collect for today's feast we ask: "Almighty ever-living God, who assumed the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the Mother of your Son, body and soul into heavenly glory, grant, we pray, that, always attentive to the things that are above, we may merit to be sharers of her glory.

The Gospel is the story of the Visitation. I firmly believe that Mary visits us and brings us Jesus. Let us thank her today for her continual presence in our lives. We always need her maternal presence, love, and guidance.

I am off for three days of retreat on the ocean and ask prayers for these days of prayer and reflection.
