Jesus said to his disciples: “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and show great is my anguish until it is accomplished!

Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, But rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, Three against Two and Two against Three; A Father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-low against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” - Luke 12-49:53

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Mass Timings:
August 15, 2025 at 8:30am
(Saint Matthew Catholic Parish).

August 15th the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Holy Day of Obligation. On November 1, 1950, Pius XII defined the dogma of the Assumption. Thus he solemnly proclaimed that the belief whereby the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the close of her earthly life, was taken up, body and soul, into the glory of heaven, definitively forms part of the deposit of faith, received from the Apostles.

Father in heaven, all creation rightly gives you praise, for all life and all holiness come from you. In the plan of your wisdom she who bore the Christ in her womb was raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven.

May we follow her example in reflecting your holiness and join in her hymn of endless love and praise.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

"Don't settle for less; God is waiting to transform your life."

Pope Leo XIV tells young people at Mass, concluding the Jubilee of Youth.

"Aspire to great things, to holiness, wherever you are. Do not settle for less. You will then see the light of the Gospel growing every day, in you and around you," he said in his homily during Mass concluding the Jubilee of Youth
