Today, we celebrate "Assunto," the day Mary in her wholeness was taken into heaven. Like Mary, we trust in God's promised COMFORT, Expanding LOVE, and perfect Unity with others in God.
Let us pray for all those who have died this year:
God, thank you for this life and the time we spent loving each other. Please hold each precious soul, each little star, each precious life in your hand, until we all meet again one day in your Glory. Amen.
God bless S. Lissie as she continues to broadcast on the radio in Puerto Rico! #womencanpreach #orderofpreachers
This week, we celebrated St. Rose of Lima, the Patron Saint of Latin America! Her name was Isabel, but she was called Rose because she was beautiful inside and out. At 20, she joined the Dominican Order as a layperson. (Her parents prevented her from joining as a Sister.) But they could not stop her praying and living for God. During the last years of her life (she died at 31), Rose cared for homeless children, the elderly, and sick in her home. This was a beginning of social services in Peru.
St. Rose of Lima pray for us:
For your depth of Prayer.
For your depth of Love of God and God's people.
For your courage to follow God's calling, while disappointing your family.
St. Rose of Lima, pray for us to bravely -- take action -- so God's world may come.
