TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The roots of today’s feast of the Assumption can be traced back
at least to the fifth century, when it is noted in the Armenian lectionary. Celebrated in Jerusalem, the feast in honor of the Theotokos, the Mother of God, became the principle feast of
Mary throughout the Christian world. The place of celebration was at the tomb of Mary in Gethsemane and was therefore
known as the “Dormition of Mary.” In some cultures this feast is celebrated today with a resting statue of Mary, much like a
wake service of modern times. The liturgy of this feast provides images of “the place of your rest” in Psalm 132, and reverence for the Ark of the Covenant
that held the signs of the Promise. Like that Ark, Mary is for us the ark of the Savior, the one who bore the Son of God. When the doctrine of the Assumption was defined in 1950 the Gospel
reading for the feast was changed to include the verses of Mary’s song, the Magnificat. The scripture readings for both the bigil Mass and the Mass of the day speak to us of life after death as well as the path to be followed in order to reach it. The key to this
promised immortality is found as we take to heart the words of the vigil’s Gospel, “Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”
From the Desk of the Pastor
Father Salvatore DeStefano
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Recently I recommended a book called Habits of Holiness. It’s a really great read and I can’t say enough good things about it. In case you don’t get a chance to buy it, there is one practice Father talks about I highly suggest you do. It’s call the “Life Novena.” Usually a novena consists of praying certain prayers for nine days for a specific intention. This novena doesn’t involve prayers but fasting instead. For nine days, we pick something we enjoy to give up for that intention. It could be anything, any little pleasure in life that we do daily—nothing big. (I don’t recommend giving up coffee if you’re a caffeine addict—that will just make you grouchy and defeat the whole purpose.) I can tell you personally that it’s very effective. There is something about the sacrificial nature of fasting that is very special to Jesus. Below is a helpful chart to assist you. Please feel free to cut it out and use it. God bless You
