Hoy celebramos la Natividad de la Virgen María. ¡Feliz cumpleaños, Madre nuestra!🙏❤️‍🔥

Cada 8 de septiembre, la Iglesia celebra una festividad muy especial: la Natividad de la Santísima Virgen María, Madre de Jesús y nuestra. ¡Demos gracias a Dios por habernos regalado a tan excelsa Madre!

San Juan Damasceno la llamó “Nueva Eva”, pues por medio de María, la tristeza de la primera madre se transformó en gozo y el género humano recibió a Cristo, su Salvador.

Aunque los Evangelios no ofrecen detalles sobre el nacimiento de María, la tradición cristiana ha conservado diversos relatos sobre sus orígenes. Una de ellas señala que habría nacido y vivido junto a sus padres, los santos Joaquín y Ana, en el lugar donde actualmente se encuentra la Basílica de Santa Ana en Jerusalén. Estos relatos tienen como fuente algunos textos cristianos antiguos, como el Protoevangelio de Santiago.

La fiesta de la Natividad de María se celebra en Oriente desde el siglo V y llegó posteriormente a Occidente, alrededor del siglo VII. Hoy, la Iglesia celebra con esperanza el nacimiento de la Virgen, reconociendo en ella a aquella por medio de quien Dios quiso entrar en el mundo para nuestra salvación.

📢SANTO DE HOY📝
📅 15 DE AGOSTO
🌸 SOLEMNIDAD DE ÑA ASUNCIÓN DE LA SANTÍSIMA VIRGEN MARÍA 🩵

ES una fiesta con un doble objetivo: La feliz partida de María de esta vida y la Asunción de su cuerpo al cielo. La respuesta por qué es importante para los católicos, la encontramos en el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, que dice en el numeral 966: “La Asunción de la Santísima Virgen constituye una participación singular en la Resurrección de su Hijo y una anticipación de la resurrección de los demás cristianos”.
La importancia que tiene para todos nosotros la Asunción de la Virgen se da en la relación que ésta tiene entre la Resurrección de Jesucristo y nuestra resurrección. El que María se halle en cuerpo y alma ya glorificada en el Cielo, es la anticipación de nuestra propia resurrección, dado que ella es un ser humano como nosotros.

La Asunción de la Virgen Maria

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

August 15

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven, which commemorates the death of Mary and her bodily assumption into Heaven, before her body could begin to decay—a foretaste of our own bodily resurrection at the end of time.

Because it signifies the Blessed Virgin's passing into eternal life, it is the most important of all Marian feasts and a Holy Day of Obligation.

The word “Assumption” underscores an important difference between the ascent of Jesus into Heaven and His mother’s journey. Jesus, being divine, ascended into Heaven of His own power. Mary, on the other hand, was brought to Heaven by the Lord—assumed without her control.

The main legend which led to the tradition of the Assumption is that the Blessed Mother died in the presence of most of the Apostles (St. Thomas was missing) and her body was laid in a tomb. Later the apostles brought St. Thomas to see the tomb. It was then they discovered that Mary's body was gone and the tomb was filled with beautiful and fragrant flowers.

Belief in the Assumption of Mary flows immediately from the belief in her Immaculate Conception-- if Mary was preserved from sin by the free gift of God, she would not be bound to experience the consequences of sin--death--in the same way we do. Since sin and death are the fruits of Satan, the freedom of Mary from the original sin of Adam also frees her from the consequences of sin—death. She remained stainless from sin, and so the Assumption is the reward of being sinless. Her body was too pure to remain on earth to decompose, so it was taken up by God to be united with her soul.

The Feast of the Assumption is a very old feast of the Church, celebrated universally by the sixth century. Church tradition has held the belief in the Assumption of Mary as far back as the first century, with evidence of this belief found in the apocryphal writings of Saint John the Evangelist. While this was a popular belief and devotion throughout the Church, it was not until 1950 that Pope Pius XII—following a broad council of bishops—declared the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary as a dogma of the Catholic Faith:

In 1950, in the Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus, Pope Pius XII proclaimed the Assumption of Mary a dogma of the Catholic Church in these words: "The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heaven."

All the feast days of Mary mark the great mysteries of her life and her part in the work of redemption. The central mystery of her life and person is her divine motherhood. The Assumption is God's crowning of His work as Mary ends her earthly life and enters eternity.

Blessed feast day wishes. Our Lady assumed into Heaven, pray for us!

Pero sobre todo, te pedimos que les concedas paciencia, fortaleza para cargar su cruz y la certeza de que nunca están solos, pues tu amor los acompaña en cada momento de su convalecencia.
Que tu luz los ilumine, tu presencia los conforte y tu bendición les dé la esperanza de una pronta recuperación.

Divino Salvador del Mundo, en ti ponemos nuestra confianza y nuestra esperanza.

Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
July 16

The Madonna of the Brown Scapular and its object was thanksgiving to Mary, the patroness of the Carmelite Order, for the benefits she had accorded to it through its difficult early years.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel is the name given to the Blessed Virgin Mary as patroness of the Carmelite Order, professed men and women religious who trace their spiritual lineage to the prophet Elijah, who lived on Mt. Carmel in the Holy Land.Traditionally, Mary is said to have given the Scapular to an early Carmelite named Saint Simon Stock.

The first Carmelites were Christian hermits living on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land during the late 12th and early to mid-13th century. They built in the midst of their hermitages a chapel which they dedicated to the Blessed Virgin.

By the 13th century they became known as “Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.” They soon celebrated a special Mass and Office in honor of Mary. In 1726, it became a celebration of the universal Church under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Mount Carmel is the biblical site where the prophet Elias battled the 450 priests of Baal in a public spiritual contest which led to their defeat and ruin as Scriptures aptly recorded. (1 Kings 18:19-40). It was also here where Elias sent his servant seven times to the mountaintop to look for rain after years of drought which ended as he proclaimed, "Behold a little cloud arose out of the sea like a man's foot." (1 Kings 18:44).

It is our Lady of Mount Carmel who appeared to Saint Simon Stock, providing gentle instruction on Consecration to Her Immaculate Heart through the Scapular, which led to the growth of the Carmelite Order. Mary appeared to St. Simon Stock, the General of the Carmelite Order on July 16, 1251, and gave him the scapular.

On one arm she held the Child Jesus and on the other a brown garment called a scapular, to be draped over the front and back of a person. As she showed him this garment she said, “This shall be the privilege for you and for all the Carmelites, that anyone dying in this habit shall be saved.”

The feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel was instituted for the Carmelites in 1332, and extended to the whole Church by Benedict XIII in 1726. The scapular is a modified version of Mary’s own garment. It symbolizes her special protection and calls the wearers to consecrate themselves to her in a special way.

Many popes and saints have strongly recommended wearing the Brown Scapular to the Catholic Faithful. Pope Pius XII said: "The Scapular is a practice of piety which by its very simplicity is suited to everyone, and has spread widely among the faithful of Christ to their spiritual profit." In our own times, Pope Paul VI said: "Let the faithful hold in high esteem the practices and devotions to the Blessed Virgin ... the Rosary and the Scapular of Carmel" and in another place referred to the Scapular as: "so highly recommended by our illustrious predecessors."

The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is known to many Catholic faithful as the “scapular feast,” associated with the Brown Scapular of the Carmelite order. This is a devotional sacramental signifying the wearer’s consecration to Mary and affiliation with the Carmelite order.

In order to receive the spiritual blessings associated with the Scapular, it is necessary to be formally enrolled in the Brown Scapular. The enrollment is made only once by a priest or authorized person. The Scapular can be replaced afterwards by a medal, which has on one side the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and on the other, the image of Mary.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Pray for us.
