On this Feast of Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, we are reminded that sincere faith continues to trust even when answers seem delayed. This is a picture of a Church that remembers God's faithfulness through places, people, and generations.

Traditions carry the wisdom, faith, and love of generations before us. Today, we are also reminded that true faith is not about empty rituals but about allowing God's truth to shape our hearts.

Reflect, today, upon these disciples and their need to reflect upon the Word of God so as to understand, believe and have their eyes opened. Know that you need this same grace.
Reflect, today, upon these words Jesus spoke to Mary: “Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.” But do so with the knowledge that, now, Jesus has indeed ascended to the Father.
Reflect, today, upon these chief priests and elders of the people. Try to ponder their hardness of heart and the sad situation they found themselves in as they attempted to cover up their error and sin. Resolve never to fall into this form of sin yourself.
Reflect, today, upon the line from the Responsorial Psalm for today’s Mass. “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.” The “day” we rejoice in is the new life God wants to bestow upon your soul here and now.
