Helping me grow in the fullness of faith ...

The reflection below touched me deeply as I read it this morning. This was taken from a summary of the Pope's homily on today's feast of Mary - the Assumption.  Even at 50 years of age, I am working on my relationship with Mary and her role in my life.  
Lord, let me be in some modest way, an ark in which your Son Jesus is present in this world. 

I hope it helps you ... Peace

The pope reflected, "the New Testament tells us that the real Ark of the Covenant is a living concrete person -- it's the Virgin Mary," he said.

Mary offered a new dwelling place for God by carrying Jesus in her womb, showing that God no longer lives in some static location, but "lives in a person and in one's heart," he said.

The pope said Mary invites everyone today to become, "in some modest way, an ark in which the Word of God is present" and has transformed and enlivened one's life.
