Feast of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven – August 15, 2010

Last Good Friday, over 90 teenagers at St. Ignatius Parish in Cincinnati, Ohio, re-enacted 12 key scenes from the life of Jesus. Their script began with the an-nunciation and included Jesus‘ baptism, temptation in the desert, teaching his followers before the Last Supper and

another seven scenes, ending with the burial of Je-sus… a spotlight shone on Mary as she tied the scenes together … always ended with a question …, ―Have you seen my son?‖ (taken from St. Anthony Messenger Press) As we celebrate the Assumption, we might forget Mary‘s passion and tragedy. In the Gospel of Luke, Elizabeth calls Mary ‗blessed‘. In its truest meaning, blessed means that one experiences the greatness and burden of God‘s love at the same time. While Mary knew the grace of bearing and raising the Son of God – she also knew the passion of asking, ―have you seen my son?‖ You, too, are called to be blessed. Celebrate the mo-ments of God‘s grace in your lives and remember that moments of struggle will ultimately lead to moments of victory. Let Mary be our example and guide this day!

Fiesta de la Asunción de María al Cielo 15 de agosto 2010

El pasado Viernes Santo, más de 90 adolescentes en la Parroquia San Ignacio en Cincinnati, Ohio, escenifica-ron 12 escenas clave de la vida de Jesús. El guión ini-ció con la anunciación e incluyó el bautismo de Jesús, la tentación en el desierto, el enseñando a sus discípu-los antes de la Última Cena y otras siete escenas, que terminaron con el entierro de Jesús ... una luz brillaba sobre María al ella ser el lazo que unía todas las esce-nas ... siempre terminando con una pregunta ...: "¿Has visto a mi hijo?" (tomado de St. Anthony Messenger Press)

Al celebrar la Asunción, puede que nos olvidemos de la pasión y tragedia de María. En el Evangelio de Lu-cas, Isabel llama a María ―bendita‖. En su más verda-dero sentido, bendecido significa el que uno siente a un mismo tiempo la grandeza y la carga del amor de Dios. Mientras que María sabía la gracia de llevar y criar al Hijo de Dios - ella también sabía de la pasión de preguntar, "¿has visto a mi hijo?" Usted también esta llamado a ser bendecido. Celebre los momentos de la gracia de Dios en su vida y recuer-de que los momentos de dificultad ultimadamente lo llevarán a momentos de victoria. ¡Que María sea nues-tro ejemplo y guía este día! -Fr. Joseph S. Popelka
