Today, 15 August, is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – the Assumption of Mary.
In Italy, it is regarded as the most important feast day in the Catholic Church.
In Germany, however, the Assumption of Mary is now celebrated in only a few regions – in Saarland and parts of Bavaria, it is still a public holiday.
Yet this day carries a deeper meaning that extends far beyond the boundaries of the Church:
Mary stands as a symbol of the mother in all her forms – for the mother who gives us life, for Mother Earth who sustains us, and for the divine Mother who fills us with love, peace, security, hope, growth, success and confidence.
Without maternal power, we would not exist. She is the source, the anchor and the inspiration – for all that is divine as well as for us humans, and also for the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
How peaceful our world could be if we still trusted and followed these ancient wisdoms.
For us – my husband Mauro and me – this day holds a special significance:
It is also the birthday of our teacher, the founder of modern energy work with prana (life energy), from whom we have been privileged to receive so many treasures and insights.
With deep gratitude, we send you all our blessings.
May the love of the Mother of God and Mother Earth bless us all with peace, accompany us and keep us in her protection.
Gianna
