The Feast of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven and India’s Independence Day on August 15

On the Assumption and Independence Day, we receive and we share this message sent in by our Indian brothers.
“Gratitude to Mother Mary for being a votary of Peace and a perfect role model for all times and a tribute to our freedom fighters who heroically and willingly risked and laid down their lives and energies to free the country from colonial bondage.
On this auspicious day, let us pray that we may  endure patience, experiential wisdom, active faith, firm trust, genuine love, absolute purity, constant prayer and silent contemplation of Mary, Mother of God.”
