Holy Fathers Prayer Intentions for August General Intention: That prisoners may be treated with justice and respect for their human dignity. Missionary Intention: Youth Witness to Christ. That young people called to follow Christ, may be willing to proclaim and bear witness to the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Teachings of the Church "Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death." The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians:
In giving birth you kept your virginity; in your Dormition you did not leave the world, O Mother of God, but were joined to the source of Life. You conceived the living God and, by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death.

Wisdom of the Saints Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did. ~St. Maximilian Kolbe
