Happy feast of the Assumption!

Happy feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven! This is the day where Mary was taken up the Heaven by God. A few things I would like to share with you, that you might find interesting :)

First, I read something strikes a very good point. It told the difference between Mary's assumption and Jesus' Ascension.
Ascension: Jesus rose up to heaven by his own power.
Assumption: Mary rose up to heaven by God's power.
I never really thought of the difference before, so it was good to see this.

Next. I know that alot of Non-Catholic religions may think that Catholics worship Mary. Sadly, you have been misinformed. We do not Worship Mary, we pray differently to Mary than we do to God. When Jesus was during in the cross for us sins, gave Mary to us as our mother. So alot of times we are talking to Mary like we would our mother. We ask for her prayers for us to God, and for her to intercede for us and to help us gain virtues. Yes, we do thank her and honor her for what she did here on Earth, but it's not worship.

So there are a couple of good facts for you. I hope you had a blessed day.
