Homily #150815n ( 10min) Play – Father asks if the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is scriptural, is it found in the Bible? Is it explicitly in there? No, but neither is the Trinity, the Hypostatic Union, nor the inerrancy of Scripture. This are all inferred from Scripture. Father points out where we find this scriptural backing for the Assumption in Luke and Revelations. He focuses on chapter 12 of Revelations which speaks of the battle between the Blessed Virgin Mary and Satan, and tells us that this spiritual warfare is still going on today, in fact, it is particularly intense today. If we are with Mary, we will triumph over the dragon, but if we are not, we will be consumed.

Of all the Marian symbols in the Old Testament, certainly the Ark of the Covenant enjoys preeminence. One of the readings used in the revised liturgy of Vatican II for the solemnity of Mary’s Assumption body and soul into heaven treats of the Ark of the Covenant. Throughout the centuries, Christian peoples have venerated Mary under the title of Foederis Arca (Ark of the Covenant) in the Litany of Loreto. In fact, the Ark was the place par excellence of God’s presence. The Jews even came to consider the Ark as God Himself (Num 10:35), and God’s presence was seen between the cherubim placed above the Ark. But the Ark was only a symbol. Mary, instead, is the reality. In her, God was really present, so much so as to become her Son. Finally, in the mystery of Mary’s Assumption into heaven, in the splendor of glory, is realized most fully the incorruptibility of the Ark, perennial dwelling place of God. 

(Father Stefano Manelli, FI, All Generations Shall Call Me Blessed)

We can also note from Bl. Pope Pius IX: The Virgin’s singular and magnificence triumph, her innocence, her exceptional purity and sanctity, her immunity from every stain of sin, and finally her inexpressible richness and greatness in every grace, her virtues, and celestial privileges the holy Fathers contemplated: in the ark of Noah, which built by command of God remained completely secure and intact in the midst of great disaster.  (Ineffabilis Deus)

In honor of Fr. Peter Fehlner who passed away on May 8, 2018 we repost in full quality the talks for this conference from ten years ago that he was instrumental in organizing.

At the Behold Your Mother Marian Conference at Our Lady of the Greenwood in Indiana in 2007, Dr. Scott Hahn gives his talk on the Miracle of Fatima and the significance of the 90th Anniversary of this (the conference took place on the 90th anniv. in 2007) and what this tells of Mary, of God and how to build a family like relationship with them. This involves understanding and following Mary’s exemplary role as Mediatrix, Coredemptrix, and Advocate, all with many biblical references.

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Dec 18 on how St Matthew and St Luke give a different focus on the Advent events. Luke shows the more serene welcoming of Christ whereas Matthew on how he he is rejected. In Luke focuses on Mary as Ark of the New Covenant, paralleling the Old Testament. In Matthew the person of St. Joseph is more central. As such Mary focusing on Mary brings more serenity. Come Jesus through Mary.
