ASSUMPTION

Oftentimes we look at Mary and we see her obedience. We see her humilty. We see her purity of heart. We see her 'yes' to God, her fiat, her total abandonment to the will of God. But today, the solemnity of the Assumption. we look at Mary and what do we see? We see our FUTURE. How Mary was raised into heaven to share in the divine life is the real destiny that awaits all followers of Jesus. Our destiny is not pain, or suffering, or death. No! Our destiny is the glory and gladness of the resurrected Lord. The celebration today is like a window that allows us to see what lies ahead of us. Ikaw ngayon Mahal na Ina. Kami rin bukas.
