Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! This day commemorates the Catholic belief (dogma) that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was assumed body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life. This places Mary in an ongoing intercessory role for those of us on Earth.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!

Today, is the feast day of Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe. Courage and sacrificial love mark the life of St. Maximilian Kolbe. He became a priest of the Franciscan order. Dedicated with evangelization, he published a magazine to teach the Catholic faith and encourage devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. During the Nazi occupation of Poland, Fr. Kolbe was arrested and sent to Auschwitz. One day a prisoner escaped from the camp. The Nazi punishment was harsh. For one escapee, 10 must die in his place. The guards picked 10 men at random. One began to beg for his life on behalf of his family, and another man stepped forward and offered to take his place. Fr. Kolbe was sentenced, along with the other nine men, to death by starvation. For this "martyr of Auschwitz," a life of devotion culminated in one heroic, Christlike act.

This weekend we warmly welcome Reverend Fr. Benedict Mwangi, who is joining us again this year for our annual Missionary Appeal. Fr. Benedict represents the Diocese of Murang’a in central Kenya, Africa, which is seeking our parish's support for some of the most urgent needs of their diocese.

Father Benedict will address the congregation during all of the Masses August 15 and 16 to talk about the mission appeal. I kindly encourage you to consider making a donation this weekend to support his mission. Thank you!

Today, we celebrate the feast day of Saint Clare of Assisi. As a girl in 12th century Italy, Clare heard the legendary St. Francis preaching in the square below her family home. Inspired, Clare snuck away in the middle of the night to join Francis and his followers. Francis cut her hair like the men and gave her a rough tunic and veil to wear. For the sake of propriety, Clare was placed in a Benedictine nun monastery for several years. As more women were drawn to the simple spirituality, a new order was founded, now known as the Poor Clares. Despite requests from the pope himself to relax their vow of poverty, Clare stood firm in following the spirit of St. Francis. Clare's reputation for virtue spread and attracted women - rich and poor alike - to the new order that still exists today. Saint Clare, pray for us!
