Season Four: Episode One - The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Welcome back to the Aim Higher Podcast! After an unplanned break, Father and Sister are ready to dive into many discussions about our beautiful Catholic faith. This Thursday, August 15th, we celebrate the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and it seems like the perfect time to discuss our love and devotion to the Mother of God. Lyrics to Concordi Laetitia: Concórdi lætítia Propúlsa mæstítia Maríæ præcónia Récolat Ecclésia Virgo María Quæ felíci gáudio Resurgénte Dómino Flóruit ut lílium Vivum cernens Fílium Virgo María Quam concéntu párili Chori láudant cǽlici Et nos cum cæléstibus Novum melos pángimus Virgo María O Regína vírginum Votis fave súpplicum Et post mortis stádium Vitæ confer prǽmium Virgo María Gloriósa Trínitas Indivísa Únitas Ob Maríæ mérita Nos salva per sǽcula Virgo María. Amen. With harmonious joy, with sadness repelled, the Church recalls Mary's praise: O Virgin Mary! Who, with happy joy – the Lord having risen flowered like a lily, beholding her Son alive. O Virgin Mary! O how the celestial choruses sing praise with equal concert, and we, together with the dwellers in heaven, compose a new melody: O Virgin Mary! O Queen of virgins, be favorable to the prayers of your suppliants, and after the circuit of death, confer the prize of life:  O Virgin Mary! O glorious Trinity, indivisible Unity, on account of Mary's merits, save us throughout the ages: O Virgin Mary! Amen. Video Tribute for Father Bernard, OFM: https://youtu.be/5_Q1fS4paU4
