Rev 11:19-12:6; ps the queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold; 1 Corinthians 15:20-27; Luke 1:39-56
There has been a lot of debate over the past few weeks as to who is the greatest Olympic champion or the greatest Olympian of all times.
The names of phelps and bolt were mentioned along with the dynamic duo of beach volleyball. There seems to arise this constant chattering every fours years or so when the international community gets together to show off it athletic prowess so that they may boast before the world.
Well the church likes to show off as well. Throughout the year we boast of God's grace alive in the hearts of men and women through the ages. Before the international community the spiritual olympians rise to the front and there is none greater than the Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus Christ.
On the feast of the assumption we acknowledge her renown; she is the one whose yes and who's surrender to God's invitation brought forth redemption in Christ.
Mary's assumption reminds us that the willingness to follow God no matter where he leads is not in vain but rather ends in glory:body and soul in heaven united to God himself.
We boast of the marvels of grace as we honor the mother of Christ. What else is there to boast!
