"Truly, You are the Son of God" (8/13/23)

Why Does the Church Teach that
Mary was Assumed, Body and Soul?

The Assumption


(Click the painting to read about this work by Rembrandt.)   

"Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, 'Lord, save me!' Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught Peter, and said to him, 'O you of little faith, why did you doubt?' After they got into the boat, the wind died down.  Those who were in the boat did Him homage, saying, 'Truly, You are the Son of God.'"

  • "God uses even evil to purify us—and especially to purify His Church, which is also the Body of Christ, so that it will 'prosper in the thing' for which He established it. This prospering may be a constant struggle for her members. But if we deliberately separate from the Church, we can only return to God empty—which is to say we cannot return at all" (Do not panic! God uses evil for good, even in the Church Catholic Culture, 7/31/23).
  • Are the Bishops Being Faithful to Their Own Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Services? (Catholic365, 7/9/23)
  • "There’s no sure-fire way to ensure that your kids will remain practicing Catholics after they leave the nest....Although faithful Catholics know there is supernatural power behind even the most bland sacramental celebrations, those who are not fully formed in the faith don’t usually recognize this....Thus the young man who sees parish life as an exercise in effeminacy and counts the days until he is on his own and can stop attending. Or the young woman who wants more than just platitudes and feel-good religion—who wants to give up her life for a cause—and so she leaves Catholicism for a robust evangelical Protestant church or for political activism" (The Problem of Powerless Parishes, 6/28/23).
