MEDITATION FOR THE SOLEMNITY OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC On November 1, 1950 Pope Pius XII defined as a dogma of faith that the Blessed Virgin Mary was assumed into heaven in both her body and her soul (Apostolic Constitution –Munificentissimus De- us). Of the four Marian dogmas (Divine Mother- hood, Perpetual Virginity, Immaculate Concep- tion, Assumption) this dogma, although occurring after the other three, has been believed from the earliest years of the Church. In the early centuries of the Church there were many writings concerning the passing of Mary into heaven. Some of these writings even noted that before Mary was assumed into heaven the apos- tles who were still alive were gathered together and witnessed the glorious event. Other writings, often referred to as the Transitus Mariae (Transition of Mary), depicted in graphic detail how the Im- maculate Mother of God was assumed into heav- en. Most of the earliest writings on Mary's assumption came from the Eastern Catholic Church. Though they did not refer to this sacred event as the "assumption" they did refer to it as the "dormition" of Mary, which essentially means the "falling asleep" of Mary. In addition, in the Eastern Catho- lic Church there exists a strong emphasis on both conveying Catholic Tradition through writing and through the use of icons. As a result, various rendi- tions of Mary's dormition (assumption) were artisti- cally rendered through the catechesis of the icon. What is perhaps one of the most interesting as- pects of the Catholic Church's teaching on the Assumption/Dormition of Mary is that at no point has the Church officially taught that Mary died. This is a very interesting theological point in light of the fact that Mary was Immaculate, without sin, and did not need to suffer the consequences of sin, namely, death. Many theologians have posited that even though Mary did not die from theological reasons due to her sinlessness, nevertheless, they posit, she died in order to be in imitation of her Divine Son. This is a form of devotional reasoning, but is purely speculative. Many persons, including myself, do not believe that Mary died from the mere fact that the Catholic Tradition refers to her as undergoing either an assumption or a dormition, and not a resurrection. Being resurrected implies death whereas undergoing an assumption or dormition does not imply death. Yet, whatever the case may be, the Catholic Church has no official teaching on whether Mary died or not. Unlike the iconography of the Eastern Catholic Church, Western art most often depicts the Assumption of Mary as an event in motion. For example, one only has to think of the beautiful works of art on the Assumption done by the Spanish artist Murillo. Many of these images show the Mother of God wearing a beautiful dress that seems to have endless folds. She is usually surrounded by angels, clouds, stars, and piercing brilliance. In addition, one of the most characteristic traits of western art on the Assumption is that Mary is unveiled, allowing the viewer to behold Mary's long beautiful hair as it gloriously wraps around her joyful and ecstatic countenance.

Scott Haynes The late Francis Cardinal George, former Archbishop of Chicago, encouraged us to “contemplate the mysteries of [Jesus’] life, death and resurrection, while at- tending 'Mary's school.'" Cardinal George asked, "What does one learn while at Mary's school, praying the ro- sary? What does she teach us? The geni- us of the rosary is that it brings us to the heart of the Gospel," he said. "In the grotto near the Basilica of the An- nunciation at Nazareth, an inscription reads: 'The Word was made flesh in this place.' The Son of God became incar- nate in a particular spot; the uncontain- able one was contained in Mary's womb," said Cardinal George. "The particularity which marks human life becomes the object of contemplation in saying the rosary." Cardinal George stressed that praying the rosary enables us to enter into the mystery of the Incarnation and understand Mary's role in it.

  • Transitus of St. Francis of Assisi “Passing Over” from This Life to the Glory of Heaven
    Transitus 1 Transitus of St. Francis of Assisi “passing over” from this life to the glory of heaven INTRODUCTORY RITE GREETING AND PRAYER Leader In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All We adore you, Lord Jesus Christ, in all your churches in the whole world, and we bless you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. Leader Let us bless our Lord and God, living and true; All To him we must attribute all praise, glory, honor, blessing and every good forever. Amen. Leader Brothers and sisters, a very ancient tradition draws us together on the eve of St. Francis’ Feast Day to celebrate his Transitus; the final stage of his journey home to God. While rejoicing in the saint’s holy death and glorious entry into heaven, we give thanks to God the Father, that in his Son, and by his Spirit’s power, we too can welcome death as our “sister,” and trusting in his mercy, can live now in the sure hope of resurrection. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. All And with your spirit. Leader Let us pray: Lord God, on this night you gave to our Holy Father Francis, the Poverello of Assisi, the reward of perfect beatitude. In your love, lead us who celebrate his Transitus, to follow closely in his footsteps, and come, in our turn, to worship you face to face, in a joy that knows no ending.

  • St. Francis of Assisi Parish News
    St. Francis of assisi parish news Volume 2, Issue 3 Winter 2014-2015 STAFF AND COUNCILS COMPLETE EFFORT TO CLARIFY ROLES AND FUNCTIONS The process of defining the scope of parish leadership began approximately three years ago. The Finance Council first contacted Ellen Weilbacher from the Diocesan Office of Pastoral Services and Planning for assistance. Ellen came to listen and help establish clear lines of fiscal responsibilities: accounting, reporting, compliance, and money management. Next, the Stewardship Council met with Ellen to clarify its role in our parish. Its mission includes: welcoming, engaging, affirming, and Tapestry. All three councils met together with Ellen in May 2014 to further explore ways to integrate their work and to grow and strengthen our parish. Ellen provided Figure 1: Roles of staff and the Pastoral, Stewardship and Finance Councils council members with reading material and examples of best practices for effective parish leadership. Subsequently, council members read, debated, shared ideas, and designed and edited the graphics that illustrate their hopes, dreams and actions. As a result of these meetings and discussions, the Pastoral Council defined its responsibilities as: parish life, ministries, and spiritual formation. (Continued Staff and Council on page 4) Advent at St. Francis Amid the hustle and bustle of the Advent season take time to reflect upon this very special time of year and its meaning—the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Numerous opportunities exist for parishioners to contribute to the joy of the season by: • Helping to clean and decorate the church • Purchasing a poinsettia or holiday greenery • Donating to JOIN to purchase gifts for needy teens • Baking cookies for distribution to homebound parishioners • Caroling at Heartland Victorian Village • Participating with fellow parishioners in song and prayer at our holiday Masses Page 2 St.

  • Transitus of St Clare
    The Transitus of St. Clare of Assisi 10th August The ultimate focus of all Christian contemplation is always Jesus. Clare shows us that we can only know the meaning of our lives as human beings when we look at the life of Jesus. Leader: You are the source of true wisdom; inflame our hearts with your love - so that mindful of your words we may always seek the better part. R Lord, hear our prayer. Leader: You look to your loved ones to bring forth fruit in patience; grant us the gifts of the Holy Spirit - that working with him we may bring peace and joy to our brothers and sisters. R Lord, hear our prayer. Our Father ….. Leader: Recommitment to our way of life We, sisters and brothers of the Franciscan family give thanks to God for the example and inspiration of St. Clare. Today, as we honour her passing into eternal life we recommit ourselves to follow the same radical dream shared by Clare and Francis. We place our trust in Clare’s intercession and the intercession of all Franciscan saints. BLESSING (Taken from Clare’s second letter to Agnes of Prague) What you hold, may you always hold, What you do, may you always do and never abandon. But with swift pace, light step, unswerving feet, so that even your steps stir up no dust, may you go forward, securely, joyfully and swiftly, on the path to prudent happiness, not believing anything, not agreeing with anything that would dissuade you from this resolution or that would place a stumbling block for you on the way, so that you may offer your vows to the Most High in the pursuit of that perfection to which the Spirit of the Lord has called you.

  • The Assumption of Mary
    Catechetical Series: What Catholics Believe & Why THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY Behold The Truth Discovering the What & Why of the Catholic Faith beholdthetruth.com Assumed Into Heaven, Body and Soul At the end of her earthly life, the Virgin Mary was taken bodily to Heaven. The Bible refers to such a thing happening on at least two other occasions in salvation history, to Enoch and Elijah. Cf. Gen. 5:24; 2 Kgs. 2:11; Heb. 11:5 Precursor to the Resurrection of the Dead Like the rising of the bodies of saints after the Crucifixion cf. Matt. 27:52, the Assumption is a precursor to the bodily resurrection of the faithful on Judgment Day, when they shall be “caught up … in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” 1 Thess. 4:17 Precursor to the Resurrection of the Dead The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, “The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son’s Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians … . [S]he already shares in the glory of her Son’s Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of his Body.” Pars. 966, 974 Ark of the New Covenant We find biblical support for the Assumption in passages concerning the Ark of the Covenant, a type of Mary. The Ark was made of incorruptible wood and overlaid with pure gold because it was designed to carry the tablets of the Ten Commandments, which had been touched by God. Cf. Ex. 25:10-11 If the Old Covenant Ark had to be pure and incorruptible to carry the word of God in stone, it is only fitting that Mary, who would carry the Word of God in Flesh, be likewise pure and incorrupt.

Carroll: A Survey of Recent Mariology A SURVEY OF RECENT MARIOLOGY From the scattered riches of writings about our Lady from i979, the single theme strong enough to receive top billing is the aspect of Marian pilgrimage. As we heard from Bishop Vaughan earlier in this convention, Pope John Paul II's travels took him to capital Marian shrines in Poland, Ireland and Mex­ ico, among other places. It was the lOOth anniversary of the appearance of our Lady at Knock in County Mayo, Ireland, and the centenary also of the death of St. Bernadette of Lourdes. The international ecumenical conference held in England late September and early October began at London, continued at Oxford, but ended at the pre-Reformation shrine of Our Lady of Caversham, with Father Alfred Boeddeker, O.F.M., of San Francisco, as the final speaker.
