Ave Maria Meditations
With the Solemnity of the Assumption in the same month as the Feast of St. Peter Julian Eymard (founder of the Blessed Sacrament Fathers whose feast day was August 2nd), here is a meditation from him on Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament:
Our Lady: Model of Eucharistic Devotion Our Lady’s offering of the bloody sacrifice of Calvary is the perfect model for your offering Holy Mass. She suffered with her divine Son. Never did a mother love her son as she loved Jesus; and so never did a mother share in her son’s agony so deeply as she shared the Passion. Jesus died because He willed to die. Mary must have willed her Son’s death, because, hard as it was to make this sacrifice, it would have been quite impossible for her will to be the least separated from His. He died out of love for us; this was His final proof of love. Aside from the Sacred Heart of Jesus, no human heart ever loved mankind so deeply as Mary’s Heart, and therefore she wanted to unite her will to His, offering to Almighty God this Holy Sacrifice out of pure charity for the human race. Mary is truly your model in offering Holy Mass. Ask Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament to help you to share actively in Holy Mass by sharing in her spirit. She will teach you to imitate her by accepting willingly all the suffering which your service of God involves, your struggles against temptation, your difficult acts of virtue, your little penances-in union with the Victim Jesus on the altar out of love for God and mankind.

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Body and Soul into Heaven. August 15th MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS DEFINING THE DOGMA OF THE ASSUMPTION November 1, 1950 40. Hence the revered Mother of God, from all eternity joined in a hidden way with Jesus Christ in one and the same decree of predestination, immaculate in her conception, a most perfect virgin in her divine motherhood, the noble associate of the divine Redeemer who has won a complete triumph over sin and its consequences, finally obtained, as the supreme culmination of her privileges, that she should be preserved free from the corruption of the tomb and that, like her own Son, having overcome death, she might be taken up body and soul to the glory of heaven where, as Queen, she sits in splendor at the right hand of her Son, the immortal King of the Ages. |
