The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Apocalypse 11:19,12:1-6.,10. 1 Corinthians 15:20-27. Luke1:39-56

The love of the Most High became His Love Incarnate and His Incarnate Word in the created world and universe. Through Mary, My beloved Mother, the Word was made flesh and Love entered human life as power in the way and salvation in time and through eternity for all responding to the grace and power of Love’s indwelling.

Love and honour her who loved and honoured Me, and let her beauty, love and self-giving inspire you, lead you to holiness and progress you in the Way, according to the Father’s will and loving purpose.

‘It is enough for you to know that Mary is the mother of Jesus. She loves us so much that she offered to God the Father His only natural Son to save His adopted sons and daughters. She is a great and inestimable treasure who encloses in herself an infinite treasure, the Son of God. (Padre Pio.)
