THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY HOLYDAY AND A 60TH PRIESTLY JUBILEE............

On this Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we commemote Catholic-Christian belief that the pure and predestined Mother of God's Son, Jesus Christ who was preserved from sin from the moment of her conception, was also preserved at the end of her earthly life from the grave by being assumed into Heaven, Body and Soul. It has been the centuries old faith tradition of faithful believers that she dwells whole and complete as  Queen of God's Kingdom forever in Eternal Life with the Communion of Saints.  Today, is also the 60th Anniversary of the Ordination to the Priesthood of Reverend Father Cipriano Ramos, who is a retired priest of the Sacramento Diocese living here at Mercy McMahon Terrace.  Bishop Jaime Soto, joined by Bishops Emeritus William Weigand and Francis Quinn,  will join Father Ramos and other priests, in concelebrating his Diamond Jubilee Mass of Thanksgiving.  The visiting Chef Tony is back again tonight for another of his splendid dinners.  The menu tonight being Roast Pork / Roast Turkey, which means a more filling portion of my favorite food, breast of turkey.  Here's hoping your midde of August summer day is a blessed one............Fr.  Troy
