Remain in My Love

Posted On August 17, 2009

What a blessing this morning, on the Feast of the Assumption, to read a 40-page pastoral letter on the Eucharist, “Remain in My Love,” written by Fr. Ted Dudzinski, a busy pastor in Kokomo, IN to be distributed to his parishoners! So great to know there are priests shepherding their flocks so well! Here’s a section from the end where he summarizes the role of Mary as our model and guide in learning how to respond fruitfully to the great gift of the Eucharist.

“Her constant ‘yes’ to God throughout her life meant that she was always ready to contemplate the face of her Son. She who pondered in her heart the love of God (manifest in Jesus’ birth, hidden life, public ministry, death and resurrection), now spends all eternity gazing upon her Son in heaven. Her assumption into heaven demonstrates the path laid out for all of us who love her Son. If we spend our lives in this world contemplating Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, we too, will spend all eternity face-to-face with Him. Let us abide in His love both in time and in eternity.”
