The feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (on August 15) is the celebration of our destiny. It reminds us that God is with us and wants us to be with him forever. It is a foretaste of our own resurrection.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, precedes us and shows us the way. This road is a road of service, a "visitation", an attention and care to those who are in need, who need a visible sign that God is with them.
Like Mary, let us go out to meet others, let us listen to them, let us be attentive to the presence of the Lord in them. And let us not cease to thank the Lord for his love for us.
Let's sing our own "Magnificat" to him!
