"It was right that she who had kept her virginity unimpaired through the process of giving birth should have kept her body without decay through death. It was right that she who had given her Creator, as a child, a place at her breast should be given a place in the dwelling-place of her God. It was right that the bride espoused by the Father should dwell in the Heavenly bridal chamber. It was right that she who had gazed on her Son on the Cross, her heart pierced at that moment by the sword of sorrow that she had escaped at His birth, should now gaze on Him seated with his Father. It was right that the Mother of God should possess what belongs to her Son and to be honoured by every creature as the God’s Mother and handmaid." St. John Damascene TOMORROW,THURSDAY AUGUST 15TH, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY as a HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION. Mass at Newman will be at 5PM!
