Lord My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul, 15 August 2025 Friday, Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Revelation 11:19, 12:1-6, 10 ><}}}*> 1 Corinthian 15:20-27 ><}}}*> Luke 1:39-56
Thank you, Most Blessed Virgin Mary for being our Mother and most of all, our model disciple in your Son Jesus Christ. As we celebrate today the Solemnity of your Assumption into heaven, we also celebrate our blessed assurance and hope that someday we too may join you with God body and soul if we remain one and united in Jesus Christ our Savior.
Pray for me, O Blessed Mother that I too may rejoice in God for all that he does for me while seeing my lowliness not my pride.
Mary set out and travelled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-40).
Pray for me, Blessed Mother to go in haste filled with joy and excitement in the Lord, determined and committed to the mission to proclaim the coming of our Savior Jesus Christ; pray for me, dear Mary to go in haste filled with joy and excitement in the Lord for his love for me I have to share with everyone like you; pray for me, Blessed Mother to go in haste celebrating the Christ's presence and coming, our fulfillment in him.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb…Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my Spirit rejoices in God my Savior” (Luke 1:41-42, 45-47).
Dear Jesus, forgive me when I am filled with pride, doubts, and mistrust in you that slow me from sharing you with others and the world; fill me with humility like Mary, that I may sing too a magnificat to you, singing your saving grace because every time we rejoice in you and your works in us that is when we experience heaven our ultimate end when in body and soul we shall celebrate you with Mary our Mother too.
