Everyone is welcome in God’s house, everyone who loves God’s name. We gather to experience the warmth of this embrace.

We worship God who brought Mary to the glory of heaven this day. We celebrate her Assumption, the tangible reminder that the resurrection of Jesus brings victory over death for all who believe.

We gather to celebrate our beautiful God, who was revealed to Elijah as a gentle breeze and who calmed the storm on the lake. We are grateful that this God takes our fears away and gives rest to our souls.

Great wonders are proclaimed in today’s Liturgy. God’s love and God’s care for humanity are made manifest.
