December 08, 2021 – Vessels Like Mary

Just as Mary was made pure so she could carry Jesus, we are also made pure so that we can carry Jesus.

In her Assumption, Mary shows forth in herself the same Resurrection all followers of Christ will share.

The Resurrection proves that Jesus can conquer sin and death, including and especially the sin and death in our lives.

We cannot pay back the debt we owe to a God who loves us so much that he endured torture and crucifixion.
