One day, one of his students asked him to NO MASS explain the Doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, and Wednesday , Weekday he said simply, in Latin of course,” potuit, decuit, ergo fecit”.Four NO MASS simple words.

In essence, humanity had reached a historical goal.

But today, in Mary’s Assumption into Heaven, we celebrate an WEDDING BANNS infinitely greater conquest. The Madonna has set foot in paradise: she went there not only in spirit, but with her body as III Tom Gill & Allison Tanner well, with all of herself. This step of the lowly Virgin of Nazareth was the huge leap forward for humanity. Going to the moon THIS WEEK AT SAINT IGNATIUS  serves us little if we do not live as brothers and sisters on Earth.
