Consecration to Mary, written by St Maximilian Kolbe 🙏 🌹

[Fr. Patrick Brennan @Fr_PatBren]

May your Church be united heart and soul, held fast by love;
and may your faithful be joined in continuous prayer, with Mary the mother of Jesus – May the Virgin Mary intercede for us.

[All Kinds of Catholic @KindsofCatholic]

For this feast day, two very different library episodes at All Kinds of Catholic: 63: Living out a call to holiness with Our Lady's help and 74: I love God. I love Mary. And I love the opportunities I have been given.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Blessed Virgin Mary, assumed into the glory of heaven, is a sign of hope and consolation for the entire People of God. For this reason, I wish to invoke her maternal intercession today on behalf of those communities that are in particular need of consolation and of renewed hope. My thoughts go out to our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land, which is also, par excellence, the Land of Mary. My thoughts also go out to the Ukrainian and Russian peoples, both of whom are united by their filial devotion to the Holy Mother of God, and to Christians who suffer discrimination or even persecution.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The glorification of Mary, body and soul, teaches us that our true beauty does not lie in hiding the signs of aging, but in revealing the signs of love that never end, and are even impressed on our flesh (cf. 1 Cor 13:8).

The Archbishop of Birmingham has called the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill “a matter of grave concern for all of us.” Archbishop Longley wants to see better investment in palliative care services and encourages Catholics to write to their MP asking them to vote against the bill.

Gospel of the Day (Matthew 17,1-9)

Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light.
And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him.
Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."
When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were very much afraid.
But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Rise, and do not be afraid."
And when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but Jesus alone.
As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, "Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."

O God, who in the glorious Transfiguration
of your Only Begotten Son
confirmed the mysteries of faith by the witness of the Fathers
and wonderfully prefigured our full adoption to sonship,
grant, we pray, to your servants,
that, listening to the voice of your beloved Son,
we may merit to become coheirs with him.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

[CAFOD prayer @CAFODprayer]

Today, on the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, we pray 🙏
God of all,
open our eyes to your glory around us,
open our ears to listen to your Son, Jesus,
and open our hearts to all our global family.
Amen.
