"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior..."
Luke 1:46-47
No matter what we believe, exactly, about the Virgin Mary, today's Feast of the Assumption tells us to believe in miracles. It doesn't just suggest that miracles could have occurred, or it's OK to believe in miracles, it TELLS us to believe in miracles. The miracle of Mary's Assumption is just a glimpse of what heaven and Jesus returning in Glory will mean for all of us. While there is murkiness about Mary's death, there is scriptural evidence about how she lived. She lived her life in faith, ever available for God to use in the plan of salvation. Mary's "Yes," echoes all throughout the Gospels, and The Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) is one of the most beautiful passages in all of scripture! So, today's let's celebrate the miracle that is Mary, her life, her Assumption into heaven, and her companionship with us. She is never far from us, a loving Mother, leading us into relationship with her Son. Love, heidi
