This afternoon at Holy Wisdom, we gathered for the Dormition of the Theotokos and reflected on a simple but deep truth.

Mary carried Christ into the world. And in the end, Christ carried Mary home.

The Dormition reminds us that death does not get the final word. It also reminds us not to waste the life we have been given. Love while there is time. Forgive while there is time. Stand beside someone while there is time. Bear Christ into the world while there is time.

The homily from today’s Divine Liturgy, “Carried Home: A Homily for the Dormition of the Theotokos,” is now available on the cathedral blog.

Today, the Church keeps the Dormition of the Mother of God.

We remember Mary, the Theotokos, not simply because she gave birth to Christ, but because her whole life became an answer to God. She received the Word. She carried Christ into the world. She remained near him through suffering. And she trusted God even when the road before her was unclear.

In the Dormition, we remember her falling asleep in the Lord and her reception into the fullness of God’s presence. Our Convergent Catholic tradition holds this feast alongside the Western language of the Assumption, drawing from both East and West while keeping our attention where Mary always directs it, toward Christ.

Her Magnificat becomes the song of the Church again today:

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”

Mary’s song is not quiet resignation. It is the song of a woman who trusted God enough to believe the proud would be scattered, the mighty brought down, the lowly lifted up, and the hungry filled with good things.

The Dormition reminds us where such faith leads. Death does not have the final word. The God who raised Jesus Christ from the dead gathers God’s people into life.

So today we honor the Mother of God. We ask her prayers. And we follow her example of faith, courage, humility, and love.

Most holy Theotokos, pray for us.

God of glory, you took the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of your Son, into the fullness of your presence. Grant that we, who rejoice in her witness, may follow her in faith and humility until we share the joy of your reign. Through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

The appointed readings for this commemoration are Sirach 6:10-11, Psalm 34, Galatians 4:4-7, and Luke 1:46-55.

Miss last weeks homily? We commemorated the Transfiguration last Sunday 9 Aug. (transferred from Aug 6). The Feast of the Transfiguration: a moment that reveals who we were created to be. In this short reflection, Fr. Columba explores why the Church holds this feast so dearly and what the mountain-top vision means for our daily lives.

The Feast of the Transfiguration is one of the great feasts of the Church. Yet for many Christians, it passes almost unnoticed. We know Christmas. We know Easter. We know Pentecost. But the Transfiguration often feels like one more story tucked into the Gospel. Jesus goes up a mountain. His appearan...
