THE ASSUMPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE ASSUMPTION

 

 

The Assumption

Of the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Is the principal feast
of churches

Dedicated to Mary

Without any further title

 

GOD NEEEDED MARY

To fulfill his plan for salvation

And Mary

IS the flesh and blood of Jesus

THE HOLY ONE

That the Lord

Would not allow to see corruption

 

The ASSUMTION

Refers to Mary’s

BEING ASSUMED both body and soul

To heavenly glory-

 

SHE DID NOT DIE

 

On November 1^st, 1950

Pope Pius XIIth

Solemnly proclaimed it

As a DIVINELY REVEALED truth

 

“That the IMMACULATE MOTHER OF GOD

The ever-virgin Mary

On the completion of her earthly life

Was assumed

Body and soul into heaven”

 

By the Vth century

August 15^th was kept at Jerusalem

As the commemoration

Of the Assumption

Of the BLESSED Virgin Mary

 

In determining

That the Assumption of Mary

Become DOGMA in faith

And with pressure

From every diocese in the world

 

Pope Pius XIIth

Asked two questions:

 

1. Do you judge

That the bodily assumption

Of the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Can be proposed and defined

AS A DOGMA OF FAITH?

 

2. Do you

And your clergy and people

Desire it

 

The answer to both questions

Were a resounding yes

 

And then

We have the Coronation

Of Mary in Revelation 12:1

 

“A GREAT and wondrous sign

APPEARED in heaven:

 

A woman clothed with the sun

With the moon

Under her feet

And a crown of twelve stars

On her head”

 

Mary is so closely

Associated with the mysteries

Of Jesus’ life

From birth

To the first miracle-

The wedding feast at Cana

And being present

At the crucifixion

 

That it is not surprising

That the Holy Spirit

Has led the Church

TO BELIEF

In Mary’s share

In his glorification

 

She was SO CLOSE

To Jesus on earth

That she must be with him

BOTH BODYAND SOUL

IN HEAVEN

 

HENCE THE ASSUMPTION

A TREMENDOUS WILL TO LIVE

 

 

 

 

 

 

AUGUST 15^th, 2012

 

 

A TREMENDOUS WILL TO LIVE

 

 

Once upon a time

I saw a gastroenterologist

In Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

 

My stomach was blown out

To about 45 inches

Like it gets sometimes

These days-almost all of the time

 

I was in tremendous pain

And he asked about all my operations

And my medical history

He said,

 

“You must have a tremendous will to live”

 

That I do

Because every time

That I want to quit

Every time

That I want to give up

 

I remind myself

Of all those years ago

And what I said,

 

“I don’t think God

Wants me to die

But if he does

There must be a reason

 

And if I do die

To please bless my father, my mother,

Terri and Mary, my friends, and my work

Because it would be harder on them

Than it would be on me

I would be gone

 

But if God wants me to live

I would live for my family, my friends

And all people everywhere”

 

I woke up two weeks later alive

 

I see my job

As keeping my word to God

And bringing as much love to others

As humanly possible

Ps        “For it is time for judgment to begin

             With the family of God

             What WILL the outcome be

             For those who do NOT obey

             The GOSPEL OF GOD”                                                                1 Peter 4:17

 

             “My food,” said Jesus

              “Is to do the WILL of him who sent me

              “And to finish his work”                                                             John 4:34

 

              “Do not conform any longer

               To the pattern of this world

               But be transformed by the renewing of the mind

              

               Then you will be able test and approve

               What God’s WILL is

                His good, pleasing, AND PERFECT WILL”                              Romans 12:2

 

Today is the feast of the ASSUMPTION

 

 

 

 

A LOOK AT MARY'S LIFE=ON THE FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

A LOOK AT MARY’S LIFE=

(ON THE FEAST OF=THE ASSUMPTION)

 

Today we CELEBRATE=The feast of=THE ASSUMTION OF MARY=who was ASSUMED=

Both body and soul=Into HEAVEN=By the Holy Father God!=”The WOMAN herself  Fled=

Into the desert=Where she had a PLACE prepared by GOD”                                                 Revelation 12:6

Our MARY=is the SINLESS=Mother of God=Who GAZED upon the FACE=of the CHRIST

CHILD=She is the Woman=Who ALONG with Joseph=Who fled to EGYPT=When King

Herod=Was out to KILL the Holy Family=and JESUS

 

With a MOTHER’S ANIETY=She found Jesus IN THE TEMPLE=When he was missing=and

RAISED her Son Jesus=During those quiet UNPROTECTED YEARS=as she Protected him=

While the HOLY FATHER God=Protected the HOLY FAMILY

“You are my HIDING place=You will  PROTECT ME=from trouble=and surround me=With songs

Of deliverance”                                                                                                                                         Psalm 32:7

“Discretion will PROTECT YOU=and Understanding will guard you”                            Proverbs 2:11

“I will=Remain in the world=No longer=But they are still=IN the world=and I am coming

To you=Holy Father=PROTECT THEM=By the power of=Your name=The name you gave me=So

That they may be One=AS WE ARE ONE”                                                                                     John 17:11

 

And then Jesus GREW=Into adulthood and ENTERED into=His public ministry=Mary was an

INTEGRAL PART=of that and HIS FIRST MIRACLE=as she ENCOURAGED him=To PROVIDE the wine=

For the WEEDDING AT CANA=and then=When his TIME CAME=at hand=She MET HIM=on the way=

TO THE CROSS=and she STOOD BY him=at the CROSS and crucifixion=With ALL the other women=

Ant the apostle John=Oh how she SUPPORTED HIM=Oh how she LOVED him=Oh how=

She TREASURED HIM!=her one and ONLY SON=A LOOK AT MARY’S LIFE=She supported him

To the end=and ENCOURAGED HIM

 

“May his name=ENDURE FOREVER=May it continue=as long as the sun=Then all nations=Will

Be Blessed=Through him=and they will call him Blessed”                                                            Psalm 72:17

“I know that=Everything God does=WILL ENDURE FOREVER=Nothing can be added to it=and

Nothing taken away from it=God does it=so that people=Will fear him”                                Ezekiel 3:14

“IF WE ENDURE=We will also reign with him=If we disown him=He will also disown

Us”                                                                                                                                                                 2 Timothy 2;12

 

And so today=ON this feast of THE ASSUMTION=We must Think of WHAT A WELCOME=It  was

For Mary=That she RECEIVED from Jesus=Joseph=and the HOLY FATHER GOD=as well as ALL

The Angels and saints=When she ENTERED into Heaven=and became the QUEEN OF HEAVEN!

“Therefore whoever=Takes this lowly position=Of this child=Is  the Greatest in=THE KINGDOM

Of Heaven=And whoever=WELCOMES one such child=

In my name WELCOMES ME”                                                                                                               Matthew 18:5

 

As a MOTHER=Mary WELOMES US=With Jesus and Joseph=and The Holy Father God=and

They PREPARE a place for us=IN HEAVEN=when and if we get there=TODAY=we take a SHORT LOOK

At Mary’s life=on the FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION=and CELEBRATE her=as Jesus’ MOTHER=The

Woman who gave him=HIS PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS=We love you Mary=We CELEBRATE

You and we ask=That you PRAY for us=Until the day=YOU WELCOME US=Into

OUR ETERNAL HOME!

We HONOR YOU TODAY=Mary=OUR QUEEN OF HEAVEN!

 

In  Jesus’ name=and in the name of OUR FOREVER LIVING AND LOVING=HOLY FATHER GOD!

MARRIED TO THE CHURCH

MARRIED TO THE CHURCH

 

 

Growing up

AS a young man in Pittsburgh, Pa.

ALL I ever thought of

As I got older

Was going to college

Meeting a woman

That I very much loved

And raising a family

 

In other words-like many of us

I wanted to-pursue THE AMERICAN DREAM

 

Then came my 22^nd birthday

My first deathbed experience

And my promise to GOD:

 

“To live for my family

My friends

And ALL people everywhere”

 

About 2005 or 2006

I finally began to realize

That God had a different plan for me

Than I had for myself

A different plan for me

Than he had for most others

 

Like Jesus

I was to be committed

To God and the CHURCH

 

SO I FOLLOW CHRIST

AS MOST ALL of us do

As he is the Head of the Church

 

“For the husband

Is the head of the wife

As Christ is the head of the church

His body

Of which he is the Savior”                                                      Ephesians 5:23

 

“After all

No one ever hated his own body

But he feeds and cares for it

Just as Christ does the church-

For we are members of his body

 

‘For this reason

A man will leave

His father and mother

And be united to his wife

And the two

Will become one flesh’

 

This is a profound mystery

But I am talking about Christ and the church”                                Ephesians 5:32

 

So I believe I have

A different calling than you

Not better or worse-just different

 

I have a friend

I call her “Maggie”

And she is my sister in Christ

And my soul mate (a purely platonic relationship)

 

She says that she believes

That I was

Never meant to share my life

With just one woman

Because I can reach SO MANY

 

So Christ

Was married to the church

And he had Mary Magdalene

 

Following in his footsteps

In my own “little” way

I have my friend Maggie

 

I BELIEVE

The church to BE a FAMILY

And I believe in FAMILY UNITY

Both in the church

AND IN FAMILIES

 

UNITY IS SO PRECIOUS

 

I just don’t understand

HOW THE CHURCH

HAS BROKEN into so many pieces

As I don’t understand

HOW families break apart

 

Well-FOR what it is

I WILL REMAIN

Married to the church

And to my own PRECIOUS FAMILY

 

And most importantly

I will remain-COMMITTED to my promise

And married to God

And PRAY that God

Will make something

Out of my life and yours

 

For we are all

“PRECIOUS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD”                        Psalm 116:15

misc.         WITNESS         2-9-14

10-4-15=I don't hear from Maggie much anymore-BUT I thank God for ALL the many women-and the churches WHOM have become a part of my LIFE

 

GOD has a PLAN for your life and for mine-and GOD CAN make something fantastic-out of a life that otherwise would be nothing-JUST GIVE HIN THE CHANCE=

 

I LOVE YOU LORD!

AUGUST 14^th, 2012

 

 

ONE PERSON AT A TIME

 

 

I wish

I could

Talk to every person

 

I wish

I could

Affect every life

 

I wish

I could tell

Every person

How much

God loves them

 

I would tell

Every single person

I would tell

Every single soul

How much

God loves them

 

Even when

You were a fool

 

I have testimony

To tell

I wish

I could tell

Every single person

In this world

 

How great God is

How much God loves them

And I wish I could do it

 

ONE person at a time
