But she never let that suffering obscure her faith in God. She continued to believe in God and God\u2019s promises, even when King Herod tried to kill the baby Jesus, when the Holy Family had to escape to Egypt, and when Jesus was rejected, condemned and crucified in front of her very eyes.\n\nShe always stayed faithful to God, because she knew that God himself is faithful, trustworthy, even though she didn\u2019t always understand everything he was doing.\n\nAnd at the end of her life, when her mission on earth was finished, her trust in God was abundantly vindicated. God chose to reward her with a very special grace: he assumed her, body and soul, directly into heaven.\n\nGod was able to show his faithfulness to her in an extraordinary way, giving her through the Assumption the joy of a special participation in Christ\u2019s resurrection, because she had been faithful to him.\n\nThis mysterious and extraordinary expression of mutual faithfulness can instruct and inspire us, if we give it the chance. And that\u2019s exactly what this Retreat Guide, God Is Faithful: A Retreat Guide on Mary\u2019s Assumption into Heaven, will try to do.\n<ul>\n \t<li>The first meditation will reflect on how Mary\u2019s faithfulness can help guide our own Christian lives.<\/li>\n \t<li>The second meditation will explore how Mary\u2019s special experience of God\u2019s faithfulness in her Assumption foreshadows the future experience of the whole Church.<\/li>\n \t<li>And in the conference, we will reflect on how great Christian art\u2014so much of which has been inspired by the Blessed Virgin Mary\u2014can feed our souls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTo begin, let\u2019s quiet our souls and turn our attention to the Lord who filled Mary with grace, and let\u2019s ask him to do the same for us, so that we too can experience, more fully than ever that, \u201cGod is faithful\u201d (1 Corinthians 1:9).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
