Pope Francis’s Prayer Intentions for August
Universal: Sports. That sports may be an opportunity for friendly encounters between peoples and may
contribute to peace in the world.
Evangelization: That Christians may live the Gospel, giving witness to faith, honesty, and love of neighbor.
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Second of 11 pictures acquired for St. Brendan’s parish
Since Mary is closely associated with all the mysteries of
Jesus’s life, it is not surprising that the Holy Spirit has led the
Church to belief in Mary’s share in his glorification. So close was
she to Jesus on earth, she must be with him body and soul in
heaven.
On November 1, 1950, Pius XII defined the Assumption of
Mary to be a dogma of faith: “We pronounce, declare and define it
to be a divinely revealed dogma that the immaculate Mother of
God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her
earthly life, was assumed body and soul to heavenly glory.” The
pope proclaimed this dogma only after a broad consultation of
bishops, theologians and laity. There were few dissenting voices.
What the pope solemnly declared was already a common belief
in the Catholic Church.
The original image was painted in 1670 by Bartolome
Esteban Murillo, a popular Spanish baroque painter best known
for his religious works as well as realistic depictions of the everyday life. His work was characterized by both realism and tenebrism, or the contrast of light and shade, which he combined to
make soft forms full of rich colors. The themes that gave Murillo
the greatest success were religious. He received many important
commissions from the religious orders of the Franciscans and the confraternities in Seville and Andalusia.
Until the 19th century, he was the only Spanish artist widely known in the European world, and his work
was widely imitated. This original oil painting now resides in Hermitage, St. Petersburg, Russia.
The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated on August 15.

St. Brendan Youth Journey Afar to Help Disabled
St. Brendan’s high school youth journeyed to Moneague, Jamaica in
July to provide missionary care at a home for the disabled. The teens
stayed at Jacob’s Ladder, a home for 91 physically and mentally disabled
adults who were abandoned at some point in life. 18 parishioners, ranging from ages 15 to 54 years old, spent a long year preparing themselves
for this trip in coordination with Mustard Seed Communities — and it
was all worth it when they finally reached their week-long home!
While there they got to meet the residents and learn their life stories. During the day they dug
fence posts through limestone,
carried pipe to a new location,
and mixed cement for new sidewalk pathways. In the evening
they would join with residents to
sing and dance. A highlight was
the nightly soccer matches with
the Jamaican workers. The teens
are excited about the possibility
of returning next year!
