^{Sermon From Feast Of The
Assumption 2014}
The best material for prayer is the word of God found in Sacred Scripture and we are given ample aid for prayer in the texts of this Mass.  Judith is the perfect type of the Virgin Mary because it is the Mother of God who truly “cut off the head of the enemy.”  She has conquered the devil and sin and was raised above the rest of men from the moment of her Immaculate Conception as a preparation for the Incarnation.  Elizabeth was the first to recognize this young girl as the Mother of God.  The Assumption is the product of divine power, because it was her Divine Son Who brought His Mother to Heaven.
