From the Catechism of the Catholic Church: 966 “Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death.” 508 The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular
participation in her Son’s Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians:
In giving birth you kept your virginity; in your Dormition you did not leave the world, O Mother of God, but were joined to the source of Life. You conceived the living God and, by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death. 509
. . . she is our Mother in the order of grace
Reflections on the Wisdom from St. Francis
by Fr. Bobby
“The Apostle says: The letter kills, but the spirit give
life…Those people are brought to life by the spirit of
the divine letter who do not attribute every letter they
know, or wish to know, to the body but, by word and
example, return them to the most high Lord God to
Whom every good belongs.” Admonition VII.
Remembering that all good comes from God is
never easy, even for Francis of Assisi. He said often
that one of his strongest temptations was to vainglory—
to taking credit for the good things he was doing. The
only solution to this was to spend a lot of time in
prayer, so that he could keep his focus on God. This is
why he spent so much time up in the mountains and
on remote islands, places away from the crowds where
he could focus on prayer and keep things in
perspective. Often his contemplative prayer was very
simple: he would focus on God, and ask the Lord,
“Who are You, and who am I?” In this way his
preaching and popularity were the source of spirit and
life, because he learned to attribute all good to the
Most High Lord God. May God bless and keep you
always!

Blessing of St. Francis of Assisi
“God bless you and keep you. May God smile on you, and be merciful to you; May God turn his regard towards you and give you peace. May God bless you.”
FEAST OF ST. CLARE August 11
Saint Clare of Assisi expressed to Saint Francis the desire to consecrate herself to God. Together with him, she became the foundress of the Franciscan Nuns of the Second Order: the "Poor Clares". Having governed her convent for forty-two years, she died in 1253. She was canonized by Pope Alexander IV in 1255.
God of mercy, You inspired Saint Clare with the love of poverty. By the help of her prayers may we follow Christ in poverty of spirit and come to the joyful vision of Your glory in the Kingdom of heaven. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

CONDITIONS TO OBTAIN
THE Plenary Indulgence (for oneself or for a departed soul)
W H A T I S A N I N D U L G E N C E ?W H A T I S A N I N D U L G E N C E ?
"An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints.” "An indulgence is partial or plenary accor-ding as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin."82 Indulgences may be applied to the living or the dead.
