The Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary

-Mother Mary leads us to Jesus through Her prayers and intercession and guidance all our times and in hour of our death. Mother Mary has no prayer or wish of Her own, She intercedes for us in accordance with Lord Almighty and Jesus. The intercession She did in the wedding of Cana,

" His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”- John 2:5

-Mother Mary shows the perfect submission to God and with full proof belief in Him

"And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[f] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her"Luke 1:38

-In Mary's song of praise, we find Her glorifying the Lord for everything She is ,

Mary's Song of Praise

 And Mary said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
    For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
 for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
    and holy is his name.
 And his mercy is for those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
 He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    and exalted those of humble estate;
 he has filled the hungry with good things,
    and the rich he has sent away empty.
 He has helped his servant Israel,
    in remembrance of his mercy,
 as he spoke to our fathers,
    to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”Luke 1:46-55

- Mary Mother lived in silence of holiness. Right from the revelation of the birth of Jesus, till Calvary, when Mother held Jesus's body in her hand we can see this silence. Which made Her serene and peaceful love of God.

" But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."Luke 2:19

-The Ultimate sufferer.

Mother Mary through out her life, lived in the memories and thoughts of Jesus. Each incidents that happened in Jesus life, She joined together to form the perfect Rosary, which She recited as intercession for us sinners, to lead us to Jesus.

-The Mother that Jesus gave us through Lord Almighty.

"When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.-John 19:26-27

We are all with this Mother. Jesus, when ascended to heaven gave us a friend 'The Holy Spirit' and a dear Mother 'Mary', so that we are never alone in this world. We must realize this and be in Her love and care with the Holy Spirit speaking to us how to reach Jesus nearer and nearer each day.

-The dear daughter of Lord. Mother Mary lived purely. She lived in spirit, controlling the weaknesses of the human body. Each weaknesses she submitted to Lord and gained strength from Him will full belief. This made God to crown Her for us to intercede and guide us in our weaknesses.

"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars" Revelation 12:1

In this day of Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary, let us understand our Mothers love to us and the continuous prayers that She is interceding for us. Mother Mary is the one who rows our life through all the struggles of this world, helping us to reach safely to our Lord and eternity.

Prayer

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
