S6E11: The Gift of the Assumption

Today's Daily Decade, on the Feast of St. Paulinus, offers prayers for Miranda, who has been diagnosed with a high-risk pregnancy, and for Bethany, who is also pregnant, both submitted by the same listener. We ask the intercession of St. Gerard, the patron of pregnant women and good confessions, that the travail of pregnancy and childbirth draw these women nearer to their God and imitation of His Blessed Mother. Today's reflection is on the Assumption of the same Blessed Virgin Mary, and the gift it represents, freely given by Our Lord to His chosen Queen of Saints, both to honour her uniquely and as a model of the gifts and graces He freely gives to us when we walk with Him in our lives.
