Matthew's Gospel quotes Isaiah 8 "First the Lord degraded the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the end he has glorified the seaward road, the land west of the Jordan, the District of the Gentiles." What is God's response? He sends his Son there first. Why does Jesus talk about the kingdom of Heaven in a land that has experienced such misery?

"God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple. A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth." Rev. 11:19-12 The scriptural basis for the feast of the Assumption is found principally in the Book of Revelation. In this blast from the past, consider the scriptural underpinnings of Catholic Faith and the Assumption. The Ark of the Covenant, thought to be lost at the time of the Babylonian Conquest, is as it turns out, not so lost. In what way is the Blessed Virgin Mary the eschatological icon of the Church? Looking upon Mary, who is completely holy and already glorified in body and soul, the Church contemplates in her what she herself is called to be on earth and what she will be in the homeland of heaven.

St. Anselm said, "For I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe—that unless I believed, I shall not understand. —Saint Anselm Human beings wonder about God. How do we understand who God really is as opposed to making up our own gods who meet our needs. Jesus came to bring fire, water and division - the things of God.

The disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray as he prays. The Jewish people prayed the Shema and the psalms. Clearly, they know how to pray. But Jesus prays with an intimacy and relationship to God that the disciples yearned for. It is an intimacy pointed directly towards the Eucharist.
