F EAST OF THE ASSUMPTION: The feast of Mary’s assumption into heaven is the
ful
fu l fillment of today’s gospel of God emptying himself to take on human form, to be
as we are, to see things through our eyes. Mary is the one who is most fully open to be
changed and raised into glory. From the moment of her birth she is free from sin, and her life is
spent in openness to God’s presence in her heart and in her pursuit of goodness. Her words to
the angel encapsulate her commitment: “I am the handmaid of the Lord; let what you said be
done to me.”
Mary stands at the closure of the Old Testament and the threshold of the New, spelled out
most clearly in the words of the Magnificat,
Magnificat, when she thanks the Lord for all he has done for
her. She will be called blessed, for God has looked upon her in all her her simplicity and changed
her utterly into glory. Throughout her life she acts as God’s gateway. Through her the Son of
God enters
enters the world in human form. In John’s Gospel, at her behest Jesus begins his public life
at the marriage of Cana. At the end of his life it is to her that he hands over his beloved disciple
so that she becomes at that moment the mother of his Church.
A nd at her moment of dying she is taken up into the glory of her son as a sign of hope and
deliverance for all who follow him.
