The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary!!

Dear Family of Mary!

Today is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary!! At Holy Mass today we pray this Entrance Antiphon:

Glorious things are spoken of you, O Mary, who today were exalted above the choirs of Angels into eternal triumph with Christ.

Glorious indeed is our Mother who was assumed, body and soul, into Heaven, to sit at the right hand of her Son, Jesus! We acclaim you as our Mother and Queen, O Mary!!

On this great Solemnity, we pray day 9 of our little novena to Our Lady. Here is the message:

September 25, 2021

“Dear children!

Pray, witness and rejoice with me
because the Most High continues to send me
to lead you on the way of holiness.

Be aware, little children,
that life is short
and eternity is waiting for you
to give glory to God with your being,
with all the saints.

Little children,
do not worry about earthly things,
but long for Heaven.

Heaven will be your goal
and joy will begin to reign in your heart.

I am with you
and bless all of you
with my motherly blessing.

Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Can we not hear these words coming from Heaven for us! Our Lady is already in eternity, giving glory to God with all her being with all the saints! She has been assumed, Body and Soul, into the the Holy of Holies!! She longs for us to be with her in that holy place! And through her presence in Medjugorje, she calls us!!

Today, may we renew our desire for Heaven, and promise Our Lady that we will not worry about earthly things but long for Heaven! Let’s promise her that we will make Heaven our goal, and allow joy to reign in our hearts. Let’s remember always that Our Lady is with us, and is blessing us with her motherly blessing! In her presence, we will not go astray.

Dearest Mother Mary, we know that you were assumed into Heaven, body and soul, to be with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and all the Heavenly Host, for eternity. From Heaven, you come to us now, every day, in Medjugorje! You bring Heaven with you, and we all have felt it. We want to do everything we can to prepare for Heaven. We will listen to your words with our hearts, and respond as best we can. Thank you, dearest Mother, for being with us in Medjugorje! Amen, Alleluia!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
