S10E11: Our Wage and the Reward of the Assumption

Today's Daily Decade, on the Feast of St. Ambrose of Milan, offers prayers for an anonymous friend of long-time listener from the Telegram channel Alithea Xediplothike; this young man is apparently considering abandoning the Faith. We beg the intercession of St. Ambrose himself, who converted St. Augustine, that this anonymous servant of God be strengthened. Today's reflection focuses on the Assumption as a special gift given to Mary to exceed the tremendous mercies and gifts God already offers to the rest of us as the wages of our imperfect service to Him, manifesting the patience he showed to the ancient Hebrews and the Jews of Christ's own time. (I also digress for a time into the subject of incorruptibility).
