Living Our Faith
There are many wonderful messages in the gospel today as we celebrate the Feast of the Assumption. The messages are all centered around Mary’s trust and faith in God. Mary is the symbol and the model of the Church. She did not hesitate when she was called to serve others. She allowed God to work through her openly and consistently. Mary believed in God’s word to her and, because of that, he not only blessed her with the fullness of grace, he blessed those around her in many ways, including filling Elizabeth with the Holy Spirit so John stirred in her womb. We can tell ourselves that we’re not ‘Mary,’ which is true. But as God’s children we are all created good and all receive his blessings. Even though we are all prone to sin, we can still give him our ‘yes’ so that our sins become fewer and farther between, and his work in us and through us becomes greater and greater.

Viviendo Nuestra Fe
Hay muchos mensajes maravillosos en el evangelio de hoy, el cual es la Fiesta de la Asunción de la Divina Maria. Todos los mensajes tienen que ver con la fe y la confianza que Maria tiene en Dios. La Virgen Maria es el símbolo y el modelo de nuestra Iglesia. Ella no dudo en actuar cuando Dios la llamo para servir a otros. Ella permitió que Dios trabajara abiertamente y consistentemente a través de ella. Maria creyó en la palabra de Dios para ella y por eso no solo la bendijo a ella con la plenitud de gracia sino también bendijo a todos que la rodeaban, incluyendo llenando a la Santa Isabel con el Espíritu Santo que Juan salto de gusto en su vientre. Nos podemos decir asimismo que no somos la ‘Virgen Maria’ lo cual es verdad. Pero como somos hijos de Dios todos somos creados para el bien y todos recibimos las bendiciones de Dios. Aunque tenemos la tendencia hacia el pecado, aun podemos darle a Dios nuestro ‘si’ para que nuestros pecados sean menos frecuentes y el trabajo de Dios en nosotros pueda incrementar aun más.
