The Assumption of Mary - a Triumph of the Spirit

When we look at Mary, the Handmaid of the Lord, we see the magnificent work of the Holy Spirit. Remember that when Mary asked, "How can this be done?" the answer was so simple and yet so amazing: "The Spirit of God will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you." And the result of all that was JESUS.

Now, let's take a look at ourselves and see the same amazing answer to our own question of "How will this be done?" The same Spirit of God will come upon us and the same power of the Most High will overshadow us. And there will be the same result: our oneness with Jesus.

The Assumption of Mary is a reminder of our present and future life -- all bound up in the Infinite Love of God. That is something to celebrate!

The Spirit of God -- Aive and Active

We are alive in the Spirit because the Spirit is alive in us -- actually the source of life in the entire world. So, how much do we expect of that same Spirit of God in the details of our lives?
A great point for sharing!!!
