I was born on the Assumption (Aug 15) and my name is also Mary. I am so honored that the Mother of my Lord comes to me, but I am probably to hard-headed to answer. I had been away from mass and the rosary for some time, and on the 14th, my ultra protestant, anti-catholic roommate asks me if there's a statue of the Virgin at my parish. I answer "yes, why?", claws out to defend my faith. Then she replies: "well, we need to go there to pray. It's true that we pray but it's always good to do it in front of a statue of the BVM. We need to pray the Rosary". I couldn't believe my ears!!!!! That night I cried a lot because I couldn't believe the BVM would use a protestant to remind me, a catholic, of her existence. Every year She does something like that. Two years ago, a few days before my birthday, I dreamed I was traveling to stay for a retreat at a carmelite convent in a neighbouring city. I actually obeyed and went for a two days retreat. Sometimes, I ignore her calling, which is hurting me. I don't know why. I can't believe how persistant and patient the Virgin Mary is with unworthy me. I am soooo stubborn and hard-headed!
Thank you Fr. for that interesting explanation. As catholics we arrive at truth through the diverse richness of our faith and reason not just bible alone(sola scriptura). Blessed Mary!
Our Lady, the new Ark of the Covenant is assumed body and soul into Heaven where we now have the weapon, as the Israelites carried the Ark before them into battle, to ask her intercession in aid to us against our enemies.
