Today the Church celebrates the Assumption of Mary β Solemnity.
Mary said yes without knowing the ending. Without knowing what was coming. Without guarantees that the road would be easy.
And she was faithful all the way through.
What we celebrate today is not only that she was taken body and soul into heaven. It's that she arrived there having trusted the entire journey to God β from the first yes to the last.
"Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word." β Luke 1:38
At Compass we've talked all summer about debt, work, and uncertainty. And we always come back to the same point:
Some things are in our hands. And some things are not.
The first: act with faithfulness.
The second: trust like Mary did.
May this solemnity remind you that the road doesn't need to be clear to be walked.
