BE PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN AND PROUD TO BE SON OF MOTHER MARY

Today India celebrates 73rd Independence Day, a day of joy and celebration...a proud moment for Indians...last 73 years the nation has progressed..innumerable achievements in all the sectors...education and computer science....technology etc....it has happened due to the selfless leaders of the past...who have given their total life for the development of India as a nation....today everyone refers to India its because of its rich heritage and culture....I am proud to be an Indian....

I am also proud to be a son of Mother Mary.....she is a great model for all of us, model of humility and obedience....model of trusting the Lord....When Pius XII defined the dogma of the Assumption, it was a cause of great joy throughout the Catholic world. Believed for centuries, it entered the realm of official Catholic dogma. Our Lady is brought to heaven to share in the glory and joy of her Son and our Lord.

We have always looked to Mary as our mother, and so the feast of the Assumption continues to fill us with happiness. She is with Christ, and she is our mother more than ever. We entrust ourselves to her in the same way that Pope John Paul the Great did, “Totus Tuus.”

 Proud people are generally very focused on whatever serves their best interests. So “scattering” is a perfect verb to use to indicate what happens to the proud when God goes into action. Mary rejoices in that “scattering,” but who are the proud?
