When the festivity of Assumption. The Lord does not leave to be won in generosity: He is a good payer. Jesus said us explicitly that He will pay us, in this world, “one hundred for one”, besides an eternal life. “Our God is a good payer”, used to say saint Josepmaria Escrivà, “He does not leave to be won in generosity”. Divine pedagogy wants to show us that He knows to give the just premium to each of His sons. The major premium to the greatest generosity: By the festivity of Assumption, the Church reminds us what Lord said to His mother: “Veni, coronaberis” (Song of songs 4-7) “Come, I want to crown you, empress of the universe” It seems to be in a hurry. For this have known to tell a YES, a fiat, every day, many times: the perfect humanity and in His best moment, that she knows is going to be traded to the savagery and brutality, that will finish with the life in this word of Jesus. You has known to tell YES, with generous disinterested; because that was the WILL of God, the way chosen by heaven for our salvation. Simeon prophesied the life of our mother, would be not easy: “A sword will trespass your soul”. It was a normal life, but also a growing sanctity. An italian sighted woman (Maria Valtorta) put at the lips of our Lady, as a correctness: “one sword? A forest of swords!” Every day, every glance to your most loved Son… Nor our life, although normal, has to be easy. The Lord has decided that in our walking, there would be difficulties, obstacles annoyances for when we bring face to face to them, would sprout in we an act of generosity accepting them and if necessary, being grateful “Non est vir fortis pro Deo laborans in cui non acrescat animus in ipsa rerum dificultate” tells a roman stone tablet. Animus will grow with each afirmative answer to what the Lord ask us. The tablet is in front a statue of a corpse without arms nor legs. “etsi aliquando corpus dilaniatur” although some times the corps
breakes, it seemed excessive the divine demands, and we can believe that are menacing to smash us. Then is the hour of reminding that God is a good payer, and then we will know to tell for each obstacle: it is worthwhile! “What are you giving us when you ask This?”, say Camino. To think at premium is not a fault of generosity. There are moments when it is the most appropriate. Our God is a just judge, tells saint Paul, and somehow He wants give us premiums, more than gifts. He wants that our sanctity would be our by the collaboration with the Holy Spirit, by our answers to His demands, and so He will can give us premiums according the size of our generosity, but premiums out of proportion, fitting only to His omnipotence, generosity and the love for His sons . The happy eternity is not going no be only a gift, but la consequence of having been generous for the demands of the Lord. He wants to take us to the highest. The Church La Església define the sanctity as heroism in the virtues. For getting this heroism are needed heroic acts, difficult answers. Our God knows quite well how many will support our shoulders; never He will put more weigh than this one, to each of His sons, but yes the one that rise us till where our Father had decided for our eternity, He wants all of us will get the sanctity”. An occasion the Lord has for showing us that He is a good payer is the festivity of Assumption of His Mother. The Church had not established any day to celebrate the crowning of Maria, that likely was the same day, immediately, of her arrival to the heaven. Despite the quotation of the start of this article, from the Song of songs, the Crowning of our Mother was not show her presence in liturgy nor in the life of the Church, till near the Renaissance. When a lot of painters had it represented. But remind us at the rosary, and in the inspiration of so many painters: It is not only to reclaim in this festivity the corps of Maria to heaven, but investing She with all the glory than Heaven has wanted to give she for her merits very near infinites. Our God is the unbeatable payer: One way for the hundred for one,
with “the mint and the cumin” of ours efforts will know to give us an eternal embrace, within the divinity. “GO INTO THE HAPPINESS OF YOUR LORD”
