Romans 12.:2 “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Mother Mary is the model to transform oneself unto the fullness of Christ. Transformation is not a call to passivity, it’s a call to action. The Assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven is the bodily taking up of the Virgin Mary into heaven at the end her earthly life. Mother Mary’s assumption into heaven is a call to each of us to live our earthly life as a self-surrender to God alone.
I had a unique experience of transformation of my life and got empowered through the guidance of others. To share with you honestly, I faced many problems in life when I was a young religious mainly because of my ignorance of the situation and listening to negative people. At times I was arrogant, angry and not aware of the inner potentialities to help balance my life. This was made known to my spiritual guide by my sisters in community. One fine day my spiritual guide called me and asked me how I was coping in my life as a religious. I told her it is good and I am happy. Further she asked, are you really happy? This question struck a chord within me, causing my conscience to surge forth and express itself.
