Blessed Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today
Feast of the Assumption: Mary’s Glory, Our Hope
The Feast of the Assumption: Mary’s Glory, Our Hope Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston open the “Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus” podcast with prayer and Luke’s Magnificat, then reflect on the Church’s celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption. Father Perry shares early Church tradition that the apostles (except Thomas) were gathered at Mary’s “falling asleep,” her tomb near Gethsemane was later found empty, and devotion continues there in pilgrimage; he notes the Assumption was defined as dogma by Pope Pius XII in 1950. They emphasize the Assumption as a sign of hope and a preview of believers’ resurrection, affirming the dignity and redemption of the body and Mary as model disciple and intercessor. Cristy asks about whether Mary died, and Father Perry recounts a folklore story. They mention Medjugorje pilgrimages, a 46-day Novena to Mary’s Mantle ending with consecration on August 15, request prayers for the Anchorage-Juneau clergy retreat, and close with a prayer. 00:00 Welcome to Mary’s Messages 00:36 Opening Prayer and Magnificat 01:18 Assumption Tradition and Empty Tomb 02:41 Dogma and Hope for Us 05:06 Assumption as Our Destiny 06:36 Mary as Model Disciple 07:31 Dignity of Body and Call to Action 09:08 Rosary Reflection and Assumption Poem 10:39 Did Mary Die 13:15 Apparitions and Medjugorje Talk 14:34 Holy Day Obligation and Consecration 16:57 Priests Retreat Prayer Request 18:33 Closing Prayer and Farewell Support the show Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.
