The Feast of the Assumption invites us to
birth a new vision, like the apocalyptic woman and like Mary, by becoming
persons, a community, a Church who can intervene prophetically in this
world. This new vision that we call the
Reign of God would be realized where people share, where they love the earth
and all its creatures, where they take a stance to include the excluded ones of
this world into the table fellowship of life.
For this to happen, we need to be impregnated by the Spirit – Sophia,
the Wisdom of God – who would make us friends of God and the prophets. Then we will give birth to God as Mary did
and share in her Assumption in the already-not
yet dialectic, till we merge fully with
the source of life. Are we ready for
this birthing mission?
