August 5
Feast of the Dedication of Saint Mary Major
“Who can put Mary’s high honor into words? She is both mother and virgin. I am overwhelmed by the wonder of this miracle... Let us fear and worship the undivided Trinity as we sing the praise of the ever-virgin Mary, the holy temple of God, and of God Himself, her Son and spotless Bridegroom.”
-St. Cyril of Alexandria
Today's Reflection:
Mary is called the “holy temple of God.” How many commonalities can I think of between Mary and a temple (Church)? What does this tell me about Our Lady? What does this tell me about my parish Church?
