Pope Francis reminds faithful that the Blessed Mother takes each of them by the hand, and invites them to rejoice as we follow her trusting, faithful and ‘radical’ example.
He said this during today’s Angelus address on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Mary, our Mother, takes us by the hand, accompanies us, and invites us to rejoice. Pope Francis gave this reassurance during his Angelus address on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
As the Church observes the Solemnity on 15 August, the Holy Father remembered that today’s Gospel offers us the dialogue between her and her cousin Elizabeth, telling the faithful to recognize Mary’s active role and presence in every moment of their lives.
In a special way, he encouraged us to learn from her example, and ask ourselves if we are capable of seeing God’s closeness and letting it empower us. END.
