Mary, teach us to respect all life

by Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ

Today we celebrate the Assumption of Mary. As Catholics we believe that Mary was assumed into heaven – body and soul. On November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII declared the Assumption of Mary to be a dogma of our faith. He stated in his Apostolic Constitution: Munificentissimus Deus (The Most Bountiful God): “By the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.”

Crystal Pedro is the winner of the ‘Respect for Life’ design logo competition. The following is Crystal’s explanation of her winning logo: “The seed denotes the idea of conception. The tree without leaves illustrates old age and natural death. The praying hands represent a sign of respect and protection of life from conception to natural death and a symbol of obedience, submission, sincerity and repentance.
The Christian Cross is a representation of Christianity being the burial, the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven. Both the hand and Cross can also symbolize the Church.  The green colour is the sign of life and growth. Represents Ordinary Time.  The red wording represents the sacrificial blood of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.”
