The Church has always held to the belief that Mary was assumed, body and soul, into a Heavenly state, even though the belief was not declared as dogmatic until 1950. The early Church had a robust tradition of revering relics from the saints of the day, and their complete lack of relics from the Mother of Jesus was seen as evidence of this Marian belief.

Since Mary was untouched by the stain of sin, she was unable to experience the "wages of sin," which is death. On this feast, we should not only celebrate the great works God has done for us through Our Lady, but also celebrate the truth that we have the opportunity to one day spend eternity with her and her Son, Jesus. ...

All of us have been affected by the pain of divided families directly or indirectly. Divorce is one cause. A rift between generations or siblings is another.

Faith in Jesus can unite families and build up the national social fabric, or it can divide families and, so, bring down nations. So, faith asks us as families and as cultures, "Are we on the same page? Or, are we to oppose each other to our own demise?" Those questions challenge us today as much as they challenged the audience of Jesus two millennia ago.

As a Christian, how can you help heal the division of a family (even a little) this week? ... See MoreSee Less

Friday Funny

While the pope was visiting the USA, he told the driver of his limo that he has the sudden urge to drive. The driver was a good Catholic man, and would not ever dream of questioning the pope’s authority. So the pope sat at the wheel, while his driver got in the back. They were traveling down the road doing between 70 and 80 mph, when a policeman happened to see them. As he pulled them over, he called in to headquarters reporting a speeding limo, with a VIP inside it.

The chief asked: “Who is in the limo, the mayor?”

The policeman told him: “No, someone more important than the mayor.”

Then the chief asked “Is it the governor?”

The policeman answered: “No, someone more important than the governor.”

The chief finally asked: “Is it the President?”

The policeman answered: “No, someone even more important than the President.”

This made the chief very angry and he bellowed: “Now who is more important than the President?!”

The policeman calmly whispered: “I’ll put it to you this way chief. I don’t know who is this guy, but he has the pope as his chauffeur.” ... See MoreSee Less

One of the most remarkable things about our faith is that by God’s grace, we have become His adopted sons and daughters.

To help you uncover this deeper meaning, we will begin an eight-week Bible study "Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance" on Monday, September 19 from 7 PM to 8:30 PM.

Participants will meet every week to view an engaging video presentation followed by a time of lively group discussion and fellowship.

Christ call us to anticipate His return, but why?

As Christians, we believe not only in life after death, we also believe that God will reunite our souls and bodies together at the end of time. At the resurrection of the body, we will have a body like Christ's, a "spiritual body."
