Pope Leo XIV’s first Homily: A Call for Us To Spread the Faith with Courage!

"I know I can rely on each and every one of you to walk with me as we continue as a Church, as a community of friends of Jesus, as believers, to announce the good news, to announce the Gospel," he said.

He told the assembled cardinals that he hopes his election can help the church illuminate "the dark nights of this world".

The new pontiff addressed the work the church needs to do to tackle the "lack of faith" in many places around the world where "technology, money, success, power or pleasure" are valued — places where "our missionary outreach is desperately needed," he said.

He also lamented that, for many, the Christian faith "is considered absurd, meant for the weak and unintelligent."

Vocal prayer.*

The Holy Spirit teaches us to deal with Jesus in our mental prayer and through vocal prayer, perhaps also with those prayers that we learned from our mothers when we were little. Even though as God He was omniscient, our Lord as man had to learn from the lips of his Mother the formulae of many prayers that had been handed on from generation to generation among the Hebrew people, and He left us the example of his appreciation for vocal prayer. In his last prayer to his Father he used the words of a Psalm. And he taught us the prayer par excellence, the Our Father, which contains all that we should ask for.

Vocal prayer is a manifestation of the piety of our heart and helps us to keep a lively presence of God throughout the day, and in those moments of mental prayer when we find ourselves dry and nothing occurs to us.

The texts of the vocal prayers, many with biblical roots, and of those in the liturgy as well as of others composed by the saints, have been useful to innumerable Christians for giving praise and thanks, for asking help, for making amends. When we have recourse to these prayers we are living the Communion of Saints in an intimate way, and are grounding our faith upon the faith of the Church.[589]

*In order to pray better and to avoid routine, this advice can be helpful to us: Try to say them with the same ardour with which a person who has just fallen in love speaks ... and as if it were the last chance you had to approach Our Lord*.[590]

*Saint/Feast Of The Day* Assumption of Mary

Virgin Mary remained in the world with the Apostles for some time after Jesus ascended to heaven. But she also died when the time fixed for her by the God came and was buried by the Apostles. But tradition says that The Apostle St. Thoma was not present during the death and burial of Virgin Mary but came after a few days. He was very anxious to see at least the face of the mother once. The Apostles were also eager to see the face of the mother again. So they opened the grave but to their astonishment the body of Virgin Mary was not there. God has not left the body of the Virgin Mary to decay but has taken Her to heaven with body and soul. Death was only a way for The Holy Mother to enter heaven.
Mother Mary is the only way for every disciple of Jesus, to enter heaven. Mother Mary was the ladder through which Jesus descended to this world. Therefore we must use the ladder, Mother Mary, to go to heaven and for eternal bliss.
