Pope Francis: Mary’s Assumption was a giant leap for mankind
On the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Pope Francis said that Mary’s assumption into Heaven was an infi-nitely greater achievement than man’s first steps on the moon. “When man set foot on the moon, he said a phrase that be-came famous: ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’ In essence, humanity had reached a historic milestone. But today, in Mary’s Assumption into Heaven, we celebrate an infinitely greater achievement. Our Lady set foot in Heaven,” Pope Francis said Aug. 15. “This step of the little Virgin of Nazareth was the giant leap forward of mankind,” the pope added. Speaking from the window of the Vatican’s apostolic pal-ace to the pilgrims spread out throughout St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis said that in Mary’s assumption into Heaven, one sees life’s end goal: “not to gain the things here below, which are fleeting, but the patrimony above, which is forever.” Catholics around the world celebrate the Feast of the As-sumption of Mary on Aug. 15. The feast commemorates the end of Mary’s earthly life when God assumed her, body and soul, into heaven. “Our Lady set foot in Heaven: she went there not only in spirit, but with her body as well, with all of herself,” he said. “That one of us dwells in the flesh in Heaven gives us hope: we under-stand that we are precious, destined to rise again. God does not al-low our bodies to vanish into nothing. With God, nothing is lost.” The life of the Virgin Mary is an example of how “the Lord works wonders with the little ones,” the pope explained. God works through “those who do not believe themselves great but who give great space to God in life. He enlarges His mer-cy in those who trust in Him, and raises up the humble. Mary prais-es God for this,” he said. Pope Francis encouraged Catholics to visit a Marian shrine on the feast day, recommending people in Rome to visit the Basili-ca of St. Mary Major to pray before the icon of Salus Populi Roma-ni, Mary Protection of the Roman People. He said that the Virgin Mary’s witness is a reminder to praise God each day, as the Mother of God did in her Magnificat prayer in which she exclaimed: “My soul glorifies the Lord.” “We might ask ourselves,” he said. “‘Do we remember to praise God? Do we thank Him for the great things He does for us, for every day that He gives us because He always loves us and for-gives us?’” “How often, instead, we let ourselves be overwhelmed by difficulties and absorbed by fears,” he said. “Our Lady does not, because she puts God as the first greatness of life.” “If, like Mary, we remember the great things that the Lord does, if at least once a day we ‘magnify’, we glorify Him, then we take a great step forward ... our hearts will expand, joy will in-crease,” Pope Francis said. The pope wished a happy Feast of the Assumption to eve-ryone, especially the sick, essential workers, and all those who are alone. “Let us ask Our Lady, the Gate of Heaven, for the grace to begin each day by raising our gaze to Heaven, to God, to say to Him: ‘Thank you!’” he said.

Prayer Requests From The American Catholic Almanac—August 25: The Royal Hydrographer: Louis Jolliet thought, at first, that God had called him to the priesthood. But God had a different plan in mind. Born in 1645, in a French settlement near Quebec, the young Jolliet grew up in a bustling community of fur traders, Jesuits, and Native Americans. While still a boy, Jolliet enrolled in the Jesuits’ small school in Quebec and spent his adolescence studying theology, philosophy, and music. He showed talent as an organist and harpsi-chordist, and too minor orders in 1662. But five years later, he decid-ed the priesthood was not for him and left the community. After that, Jolliet pursued the fur trade. He also befriended a young Jesuit missionary, Father Jacque Marquette, who, in 1673, joined Jolliet on an expedition to explore the Mesipi—a possible wa-ter route to the Pacific Ocean—and bring the Gospel to Indian tribes along the river. Throughout the spring and summer, the pair conducted the first extensive exploration of the Mississippi River Valley by Europe-ans. Although it disappointed them to learn that the river emptied into the Gulf of Mexico, not the Pacific, their findings proved invaluable. On their return journey, Jolliet and Marquette paddled north along the Mississippi for six weeks until, on August 25, 1673, they turned east and entered the Illinois River, which Jolliet described as, “the most beautiful, and most suitable for settlement.” “The river is wide and deep, abounding in catfish and stur-geon,” he wrote. “Game is abundant there; oxen, cows, stags, does, and turkeys are found there in greater numbers than elsewhere. After that first legendary expedition, Jolliet married, became a father of four, and continued his explorations of the waterways of Eastern Canada. His reward for his work was an appointment as New France’s Royal Hydrographer and an expansive island in the St. Law-rence River. In 1700, while returning to that island from Quebec, Jolliet disappeared. Presumed dead, he was never seen again.
