Hail Mary Full of Grace, (Luke 1:28)
The Lord is with thee (Luke 1:48)
Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Jesus (Luke 1:42)
Holy Mary, Mother of God (Luke 1:43)
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of of our death
John (19:26-27)
Amen.
(all biblical people!)
We Catholics didn't make this up!
Today is a feast day in the Catholic Church.
The feast of the Assumption of Mary.
We believe she was assumed into heaven, body and soul.
Just as God prevented her body to be harmed from sin in life,
He also prevented her body from corruption and decay in death.
(which is really life)
(I know, that's deep)
I must defend my faith, my love of Mary.
She is God's mother.
PERIOD
No question.
We are to be like Jesus.
And
well, He loved Mary.
Simple as that.
I love her
I don't worship her
I worship God, the One, True God.
I love Mary.
Why is this such a hang up for people?
Mary always points to her Son.
Always.
She never takes away,
she only adds to my relationship with Jesus.
She never takes away,
she only adds to my relationship with Jesus.
Have a strong relationship with His mother,
you WILL have a strong relationship with Him.
If someone loves my mother, well, there is something extra there.
There just is.
We made our blue jello this morning
so we can celebrate tonite with these
(only we don't have the fancy parfait glasses)
I don't think the kiddos will mind eating them out of a bowl, do you?

Happy Feast day!
Thankful for my faith
and how biblically sound it is.
