Assumption of Mary (Vesperal Hymn)

August 15th is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is Verse 4 of the vesperal hymn: O Prima, Virgo, Prodita (O Virgin Who Of All God's Work).

Death, due reward of sin, now vanquished, abandons thee; thou consort of thy dearest Son, art in body, to the stars raised. Amen.

Mérces piáclo débita, Devícta mors te déserit, Almíque cónsors Fílii Ad ástra férris córpore. Amen.

A Miracle?

A group from St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church Of Chicago visited the Assumption Church in Homer Glen. The Icon of St. John The Baptist has been streaming oil for over a year. Church service was performed by the Church priest and the two visiting clergy. Attendees were given a personal sample of the oil, which has had healing qualities for some.

Vigil on Lesbos ahead of Pope's visit

(15 Apr 2016) Catholics on the island of Lesbos celebrated mass late on Friday, on the eve of a historic visit by the Pope.
Francis will visit a camp on Lesbos where 2,300 people are being detained for deportation to Turkey under an agreement between Ankara and the European Union to ease the flow of migrants into Europe.
Apart from being Europe's busiest transit point during the massive migrant and refugee crisis, Lesbos is also home to one of the Roman Catholic's tiniest communities.
Around 30 Catholics attend mass on this island at the newly restored Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in the island's main town of Mytilene.

Reaction to pope's visit to Lesbos

(16 Apr 2016) Greeks, refugees and aid workers have all welcomed the historic, emotional visit by the heads of the Catholic and Orthodox churches to the Greek island of Lesbos - the main entry point into Europe for hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war, poverty and persecution.
About 100 people were allowed into an enclosed area in the port of Mytilene to see Pope Francis on Saturday.
