FIRST READING
Rev 11:19; 12,1-6.10
Revelation of St. John the Apostle
It opened the temple of God in heaven and appeared in the temple the ark of his covenant. A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and she cried out in labor and travail. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns upon his heads, the His tail swept a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the ground. The dragon stood before the woman, who was about to give birth in order to devour her child when it was born. She gave birth to a son, destined to rule all nations with a rod of iron, and his son was caught up to God and to his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert, where God had prepared a rifugio.Allora I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "You are now compiutala salvation, strength, and the kingdom of our Dioe the power of his Christ."
PSALM RESPONSORIAL
from Ps 44
shines the queen, Sir, to your right
Figlie di re fra le tue predilette;alla tua destra sta la regina, in ori di Ofir.Ascolta, figlia, guarda, porgi l’orecchio:dimentica il tuo popolo e la casa di tuo padre.Il re è invaghito della tua bellezza.È lui il tuo signore: rendigli omaggio.Dietro a lei le vergini, sue compagne,condotte in gioia ed esultanza,sono presentate nel palazzo del re.
SECONDA LETTURA
1Cor 15,20-26
Dalla prima lettera di san Paolo apostolo ai Corinzi
Fratelli, Cristo è risorto dai morti, primizia di coloro che sono morti. Perché, se per mezzo di un uomo venne la morte, per mezzo di un uomo verrà anche la resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But everyone in his place: Christ, the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death, because everything was under his feet
Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia.Maria is taken up into heaven, the cheering crowds of angeli.Alleluia.
GOSPEL
Lc 1,39-56
Dal vangelo secondo Luca
In quei giorni Maria si alzò e andò in fretta verso la regione montuosa, in una città di Giuda. Entrata nella casa di Zaccarìa, salutò Elisabetta. Appena Elisabetta ebbe udito il saluto di Maria, il bambino sussultò nel suo grembo. Elisabetta fu colmata di Spirito Santo ed esclamò a gran voce: «Benedetta tu fra le donne e benedetto il frutto del tuo grembo! A che cosa devo che la madre del mio Signore venga da me? Ecco, appena il tuo saluto è giunto ai miei orecchi, il bambino ha sussultato di gioia nel mio grembo. E beata colei che ha creduto nell’adempimento di ciò che il Signore le ha detto».Allora Maria disse: «L’anima mia magnifica il Signoree il mio spirito esulta in Dio, mio salvatore,perché ha guardato l’umiltà della sua serva.D’ora in poi tutte le generazioni mi chiameranno beata.Grandi cose ha fatto per me l’Onnipotentee Santo è il suo nome;di generazione in generazione la sua misericordiaper quelli che lo temono.Ha spiegato la potenza del suo braccio,ha disperso i superbi nei pensieri del loro cuore;ha rovesciato i potenti dai troni,ha innalzato gli umili;ha ricolmato di beni gli affamati,ha rimandato i ricchi a mani vuote.Ha soccorso Israele, suo servo,ricordandosi della sua misericordia,come aveva detto ai nostri padri,per Abramo e la sua discendenza, per sempre».Maria remained with her about three months, then returned to his home.

COMMENT ON READING
The word "assumption" in our culture, makes you immediately think of something having to do with the world of "work". "It 'was finally taken," sigh parents concerned about the future of their children ... "I finally found a system," say many young people at the end of a troubled path of training courses, workshops, temporary accommodation ...
These expressions are then common to consider the "stability" work as a priority area and the "finality" as a parameter optimal arrangement.
a consideration, perhaps paradoxical flavor, but encourages us to remember that all this coveted "finality" or "accommodation" is searched and lived in the broader context of "uncertainty" that exists and that is that of "impermanence" of earthly life.
Now just today's feast, the Assumption, forces us to focus our attention on a more spiritual scene. It is not considered disrespectful in this regard, to remember a funny joke ... "Mary was" assumed "in heaven because he had not found a job on earth "...
But why, one wonders, the Gospel passage chosen for this special Sunday commemorating the event" and definitive end "the life of Mary is part of the 'beginning' of Luke's account?
Why this combined narrative of the 'beginning' of an adventure (which took place on earth) and "end" of the same (which took place in the sky)?
already this could not be an indication for how each believer should frame the entire period of his existence on earth ... just beginning, but ends in the sky?
E 'curious fact to note as the day of appointment, the passage of the Gospel is not brought perils in the telling of "the fact", but wants us to understand "why" it happened "because" ... that is why the Virgin had found its "accommodation" Final beyond the threshold of the earthly world, right in the heart of the Trinity.
And the answer lies in the track today. The Virgin Mary (a young girl full of dreams) was "assumed" into heaven for believing strongly, beyond its earthly dreams, in the new course of history was beginning, the birth of a new world only love ... It 's why free from his heart e dalla sua anima il canto del “magnificat”.
Questa è la “combinata della fede” o “della gioia”, una combinata sintetizzabile in queste due espressioni: “Maria è beata per aver creduto senza esitazione” e “Maria ha creduto per grazia di Dio”.
Una combinata, quindi, da poter fare propria perché il “nuovo mondo” inizia proprio nell’esatto momento in cui, per grazia di Dio, si decide di crederci.
E tutto questo può accadere nella vita di ciascuno con il superamento di atteggiamenti tentennanti e sospettosi (tipici delle anime “paurose”) o con il congelamento di atteggiamenti di lamentazione continua e di denuncia martellante the evils of injustice (typical of souls "angry").
Neither fear nor bitterness touched the Virgin Mary's soul (in this sense has always remained a virgin), or sighs, or complain they have crossed the deepest fibers of his mother's heart ... the thought of what would have touched his very special Son.
There is more, and is a particularly important to do right, especially for those souls unconsciously wanting to "shortcuts" in the way of salvation, or "privileges" for the role they perform in the great task of the Kingdom of God
Maria for believing strongly and immediately, not had no privilege, nor got discounts on the price he had agreed to pay on behalf of humanity.
Maria had nothing but trouble, humanly speaking, one problem after another ... just beginning to be pregnant in a spiritual way ... and so on.
Mary, like every mother, lived trepidation and pain but never complained or recrimination as many mothers ...
Mary believed the "accommodation" for his son and ultimately that's why he wanted it to end permanently bind "to assume "in the Trinity.
should not be difficult to obtain information as is the man arrabatta to seek "stability" on the shifting sands of live terrestrial ...
