(Vatican News Network) “The Virgin Mary’s “The Lordship” not only expresses her complete trust in God, but also a call to change the world.” This is Cardinal Bo, Archbishop of Yangon, Myanmar, in August. On the 15th day of the Assumption of Our Lady, he hosted a grand mass in the Yangon Cathedral, which was emphasized in the sermon.
Cardinal Bo praised Our Lady for her fearlessness despite accidents and pains that accompanied her throughout her life. The cardinal firmly believes that in today’s world Our Lady is with us and will protect us. He emphasized: “The Assumption is not just Mary being taken up from the grave, it is a hope and a desire, and God confirms that what happened to Jesus and Mary will happen to all of us.” body.”
For Card Bo, the Virgin Mary’s Cantata “is a call to change the world”. Our Lady’s hymn is not a “fantasy” or a “fairy tale”, but a call to our relationship with God so that we can “work with him to realize his kingdom in the world”.
“Jesus came into man not because man is bad and terrible and should be destroyed, but so that man may know his true dignity, his true meaning, his true value, and nothing can destroy it, because this meaning, Dignity and worth come from God himself.”
Card Bo then emphasized that the greatness of human beings lies in our identity as children of God, not by other external things. So this calls for our responsibility to love, care and forgive, and to face anger with kindness in the face of despair, “with a deep and abiding hope that God’s will will be done”.
The Archbishop of Yangon reassures the faithful: “All the little things we do, all the humble efforts we do, we set an example again to the world that God is in our midst, that God is here, that Jesus did not die in vain. of.”
Finally, Cardinal Bo affirmed that no one can take away our “love, care, sacrifice and faith”. “It will never perish, never die”, which is “because when the angel of the Lord came and asked the Virgin of Nazareth if she would be the mother of the Savior, she said ‘Yes!'”
