Mary Leads the Way

Why are we so drawn to nature? Something in us longs for it, like the proverbial moth to a flame. With the eyes of faith, the answer becomes clear when we ponder the simple question -- who made it? Our Heavenly Father did. Everyone implicitly or explicitly, I dare say, who treks through Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, the Grand Canyon or the beaches of Hawaii, is fundamentally looking for God on some level. Psalm 19:1 is even more blunt, "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands."  In other words, nature points above our daily grind to the transcendent destiny we were created for. On this day the Church celebrants the Assumption of the Blessed Mother into Heaven, she reminds us like that ocean sunset, we are made for life with the Triune God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian’s homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.
