Feast of the Dormition

In giving birth you retained your virginity, in falling asleep you did not abandon the world, o Mother of God. You passed into life, for you are the Mother of Life, and by your prayers you deliver our souls from death. (Troparion, Tone 1) pic.twitter.com/hobkU4NR7s

Neither the grave nor death could contain the Theotokos, the unshakable hope, ever vigilant in intercession and protection. As Mother of life, He who dwelt in the ever-virginal womb transposed her to life. pic.twitter.com/k74rTehhvY

Spot the Heresy

Mary’s secret is humility. It is her humility that attracted God’s gaze to her. Today, looking at Mary #assumed into heaven, we can say that humility is the way that leads to Heaven. #Angelus
