I want to encourage everyone to place your souls in the refuge of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Her heart is the ark that will save us from the flood of confusion in our times. Some concrete ways to do this are to live free from mortal sin, go to frequent confession, pray the rosary daily, wear a brown scapular and have a devotion to the miraculous medal that you may pass to friends and family. My religious order, the IVE, takes a 4th vow of slavery to Jesus through Mary. I encourage everyone to enter into this 33-day consecration according to St. Louis Maria de Montfort. I have seen much fruits come from this in people’s lives.
I encourage everyone to celebrate with great solemnity the great feast of the Assumption of Mary, August 15th, in which we remember how Our Lady was assumed body and soul into heaven. This year we will also have the monthly Fatima procession after the 7:00pm Mass for the Assumption. I encourage everyone to join us.
