In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss the Assumption of Mary as a foreshadowing of our resurrection. They discuss how the Assumption defined and why. Next, they reflect that the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven, body and soul, is a foreshadowing of what we are to expect in God's new creation. The New Testament points to a new Heaven and a new Earth. Our bodies and souls reunite at Christ's second coming at the end of time. In the meantime, we await the new creation and pray for our beloved dead who have gone before us. We pray for their repose of their souls. In turn, we ask for their intercession for us.

Listen to the previous episode where. Fr. Rob, Fr. George, shared their experiences from the Eucharistic Congress. Father George attended and reflects on some of the formative encounters and joys of the event. Fr. Rob shares an insightful reflection from a parishioner who attended. This parishioner saw how the body of priests were different from the beginning and the end. The priests at the end showed their joy at the Eucharistic Congress. The parishioner shared that part of the reason may be that the priests experienced a crowd of people who believed the message of Christ. That boosted the joy of the priests.
