She is only fifty years old, fifteen months older than I am. The current era is not lacking in crises, breaking news, conflicting news reports and confusing reports from Rome. My critic may argue that nobody does this, and so nobody ceases to be Catholic as a result. The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15 brings the pondering of "first fruits" which is a term used in the Old Testament, New Testament and all through the Liturgy.

When I ponder the Immaculate Conception, despite its being the most solemn and highest feast day during the Advent season, I realize it is one of the most intangible feasts.
