Mary’s assumption invites us to follow her
 |
|
On August 15, we celebrate Mary’s assumption into heaven.
In no. 966 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church it says, “The Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death.”
Shows us how to love
Mary’s assumption can motivate us to reflect upon events that led to her being assumed into heaven as a reward for her faithfulness.
Love Begins Here engages teens, serves neighbors
Spending an entire day at Love Begins Here (LBH) will make anyone question if they are doing enough with their 24 hours.
Approaching the Eucharist with childlike awe
In awe, my five-year-old son peered over the pew during the Consecration, the most holy part of the Mass during which the host and the wine become the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Normally my youngest can be a bit rambunctious during Mass, but we try to pull him aside and point out the miracle before us at each Consecration.

“The priest, in persona Christi, is asking the Holy Spirit to change the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus right now,” I whispered into my son’s ear. “Look! He’s holding up Jesus!”
St. Elizabeth Home celebrates 50 years
“To each of our residents, those still with us this afternoon and those who celebrate with us from their place of eternity, we who have served here owe our profound thanks for trusting us with your care — with your very lives — permitting us to see the face of God in each of you.”
Considering options for infertile couples

When Catholic couples experience trouble getting pregnant, they often seek medical help and begin to research what options are available to them.
A number of moral considerations and questions generally emerge during this process: Why are techniques like in vitro fertilization (IVF) considered immoral? What approaches will the Church allow us to try? What does our infertility mean, spiritually and personally, in the face of our fervent but frustrated desire for a baby?

Two weeks ago, I had the great good pleasure of presiding at the wedding of my niece, Bryna.
She has been, all her life, a lovely girl, full of joy and good cheer — and eager to give herself in service to others.
Her husband, Nelson, is also a fine person, and he took the courageous step of becoming a Catholic in anticipation of his wedding.
