Do you ever have those days when you just don’t want to get
out of bed? After working a part-time
job until 1:30 in the morning, the 4:30am alarm is really early! Fortunately, today happens to be the
Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As much as I would have liked to have been at
Mass this morning, I know that I have the opportunity to go to the 6:00 evening
Mass. I was already planning to go and
serve, but now, since I didn’t get out of bed until 7:00am, I have made it an
obligation.
Many people tell me that I am doing too much and I shouldn’t
try to get up and go to Mass so early every day, but what I understand and they
do not, is that Mass and morning prayers are the “glue” that holds everything
else together. I couldn’t work two jobs
like I do, if I didn’t have Jesus carrying me through. I wouldn’t be me, if I didn’t offer my all to
give thanks.
Almighty God, you gave a humble virgin the privilege of
being the
mother of your Son, and crowned her with the
glory of heaven. May the prayers of the Virgin Mary
bring us
to the salvation of Christ and raise us up to
eternal life. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. AMEN
Well put!
