It took me a long time to understand Mary's role in the Church and in my life. On today's Feast Day of her Assumption into Heaven (body and soul), I thought I would share a little bit of my struggles, epiphanies and resources to help you understand we do not worship her (that would be idolatry) but we do love and ask for her help to get us to Jesus.

Do Not Be Afraid! Uh, it says that 365 times in the bible for every day of the year. But a lot of us are afraid to speak about out Faith, especially if we are Catholic. I shared some resources with a dear friend who I love SO much...he may get ticked off and tell me not to shove my religion down his throat.
