A Post Script on the Assumption

Hope all my Catholic friends made it to Mass today to celebrate a Solemnity; this one remembering the doctrine of the Church of Mary's Assumption in to Heaven. Many of my non-Catholoic friends think we worship Mary. It is important for your faith tradition to teach that. We worship GOD ALONE. To the hand picked mother of Jesus and the Ark of the New Covenant(see Revelation 12) we honor her and...

thank her for her yes; the Magnificat(Luke 1:46-55) reminds us that Mary wants us to worship GOD ALONE. We call her mother because Jesus called her John's mother at the foot of the cross(John 10:23-27); we are John! More than an "obligation" a day to celebrate, to rejoice, to honor Mary and worship GOD ALONE!

 

>>>This was my facebook update today.  As Catholics I implore you(us) that we properly explain devotion to Mary so our non-Catholic friends trulu understand that we do not worship Mary, which is reserved to GOD ALONE.

 

To celebrate today's Solemnity here is the Magnificat prayer:

 

Luke 1:46-55
The soul rejoices in the Lord
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
