오늘의 복음 : http://info.catholic.or.kr/missa/default.asp
제1독서
요한 묵시록 11,19ㄱ; 12,1-6ㄱ.10ㄱㄴ
19 하늘에 있는 하느님의 성전이 열리고
성전 안에 있는 하느님의 계약 궤가 나타났습니다.
12,1 그리고 하늘에 큰 표징이 나타났습니다.
태양을 입고 발밑에 달을 두고
머리에 열두 개 별로 된 관을 쓴 여인이 나타난 것입니다.
2 그 여인은 아기를 배고 있었는데,
해산의 진통과 괴로움으로 울부짖고 있었습니다.
3 또 다른 표징이 하늘에 나타났습니다.
크고 붉은 용인데, 머리가 일곱이고 뿔이 열이었으며
일곱 머리에는 모두 작은 관을 쓰고 있었습니다.
4 용의 꼬리가 하늘의 별 삼분의 일을 휩쓸어 땅으로 내던졌습니다.
그 용은 여인이 해산하기만 하면 아이를 삼켜 버리려고,
이제 막 해산하려는 그 여인 앞에 지켜 서 있었습니다.
5 이윽고 여인이 아들을 낳았습니다.
그 사내아이는 쇠지팡이로 모든 민족들을 다스릴 분입니다.
그런데 그 여인의 아이가 하느님께로, 그분의 어좌로 들어 올려졌습니다.
6 여인은 광야로 달아났습니다.
거기에는 하느님께서 마련해 주신 처소가 있었습니다.
10 그때에 나는 하늘에서 큰 목소리가 이렇게 말하는 것을 들었습니다.
“이제 우리 하느님의 구원과 권능과 나라와
그분께서 세우신 그리스도의 권세가 나타났다.”
제2독서
코린토 1서 . 15,20-27ㄱ
형제 여러분, 20 그리스도께서는 죽은 이들 가운데에서 되살아나셨습니다.
죽은 이들의 맏물이 되셨습니다.
21 죽음이 한 사람을 통하여 왔으므로 부활도 한 사람을 통하여 온 것입니다.
22 아담 안에서 모든 사람이 죽는 것과 같이
그리스도 안에서 모든 사람이 살아날 것입니다.
23 그러나 각각 차례가 있습니다. 맏물은 그리스도이십니다.
그다음은 그리스도께서 재림하실 때, 그분께 속한 이들입니다.
24 그러고는 종말입니다.
그때에 그리스도께서는 모든 권세와 모든 권력과 권능을 파멸시키시고 나서
나라를 하느님 아버지께 넘겨 드리실 것입니다.
25 하느님께서 모든 원수를 그리스도의 발아래 잡아다 놓으실 때까지는
그리스도께서 다스리셔야 합니다.
26 마지막으로 파멸되어야 하는 원수는 죽음입니다.
27 사실 “하느님께서는 모든 것을 그의 발아래 굴복시키셨습니다.”
복음
루카. 1,39-56
9 그 무렵 마리아는 길을 떠나, 서둘러 유다 산악 지방에 있는 한 고을로 갔다.
40 그리고 즈카르야의 집에 들어가 엘리사벳에게 인사하였다.
41 엘리사벳이 마리아의 인사말을 들을 때 그의 태 안에서 아기가 뛰놀았다.
엘리사벳은 성령으로 가득 차 42 큰 소리로 외쳤다.
“당신은 여인들 가운데에서 가장 복되시며 당신 태중의 아기도 복되십니다.
43 내 주님의 어머니께서 저에게 오시다니 어찌 된 일입니까?
44 보십시오, 당신의 인사말 소리가 제 귀에 들리자
저의 태 안에서 아기가 즐거워 뛰놀았습니다.
45 행복하십니다, 주님께서 하신 말씀이 이루어지리라고 믿으신 분!”
46 그러자 마리아가 말하였다. “내 영혼이 주님을 찬송하고
47 내 마음이 나의 구원자 하느님 안에서 기뻐 뛰니
48 그분께서 당신 종의 비천함을 굽어보셨기 때문입니다.
이제부터 과연 모든 세대가 나를 행복하다 하리니
49 전능하신 분께서 나에게 큰일을 하셨기 때문입니다.
그분의 이름은 거룩하고
50 그분의 자비는 대대로 당신을 경외하는 이들에게 미칩니다.
51 그분께서는 당신 팔로 권능을 떨치시어
마음속 생각이 교만한 자들을 흩으셨습니다.
52 통치자들을 왕좌에서 끌어내리시고 비천한 이들을 들어 높이셨으며
53 굶주린 이들을 좋은 것으로 배불리시고 부유한 자들을 빈손으로 내치셨습니다.
54 당신의 자비를 기억하시어 당신 종 이스라엘을 거두어 주셨으니
55 우리 조상들에게 말씀하신 대로
그 자비가 아브라함과 그 후손에게 영원히 미칠 것입니다.”
56 마리아는 석 달가량 엘리사벳과 함께 지내다가 자기 집으로 돌아갔다.

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mass during the Day
Reading 1
God’s temple in heaven was opened,
and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple.
A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun,
with the moon under her feet,
and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.
Then another sign appeared in the sky;
it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns,
and on its heads were seven diadems.
Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky
and hurled them down to the earth.
Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth,
to devour her child when she gave birth.
She gave birth to a son, a male child,
destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod.
Her child was caught up to God and his throne.
The woman herself fled into the desert
where she had a place prepared by God.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have salvation and power come,
and the Kingdom of our God
and the authority of his Anointed One.”
R. (10bc) The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
The queen takes her place at your right hand in gold of Ophir.
R. The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
Hear, O daughter, and see; turn your ear,
forget your people and your father’s house.
R. The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
So shall the king desire your beauty;
for he is your lord.
R. The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
They are borne in with gladness and joy;
they enter the palace of the king.
R. The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
Reading 2
Brothers and sisters:
Christ has been raised from the dead,
the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
For since death came through man,
the resurrection of the dead came also through man.
For just as in Adam all die,
so too in Christ shall all be brought to life,
but each one in proper order:
Christ the firstfruits;
then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ;
then comes the end,
when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father,
when he has destroyed every sovereignty
and every authority and power.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death,
for “he subjected everything under his feet.”
Gospel
Mary set out
and traveled to the hill country in haste
to a town of Judah,
where she entered the house of Zechariah
and greeted Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb,
and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said,
“Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Blessed are you who believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled.”
And Mary said:
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
and has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children forever.”
Mary remained with her about three months
and then returned to her home.

THE DRAGON AND THE LADY
“Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth.” —Revelation 12:4
The book of Revelation was composed about 90 AD. At this time the Church was being savagely persecuted by the Roman emperor, Domitian. Many had sacrificed their lives rather than deny Christ. However, others had sold out to the world and apostatized. These had lost their first love (Rv 2:4) and had become lukewarm to the point of nauseating Jesus (Rv 3:16). Of course, Satan accentuated the negative, accused the believers day and night (Rv 12:10), and continually intensified the pain, apostasy, and persecution of the times.
In opposition to Satan, there was “a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars” (Rv 12:1). She refused to focus on evil but proclaimed “the greatness of the Lord” (Lk 1:46). She was not depressed but found joy in God her Savior (Lk 1:47). She was hopeful and confident that her enemies would be confused and deposed while the lowly would be raised to high places (Lk 1:51-52).
Who will you believe: Satan, that is, the dragon, or the woman, mother Church and mother Mary? Will you walk by faith or by sight? (2 Cor 5:7) Will you claim Jesus’ victory or accept defeat?
Prayer: Jesus, send Mary to greet me. At her greeting, may hope spring up inside me (see Lk 1:44).
Promise: “Christ must reign until God has put all enemies under His feet.” —1 Cor 15:25
Praise: Mary’s Assumption sheds light on her divine motherhood. She was destined from all eternity to be the Mother of God. Now she is reunited with her Son in heavenly glory (see Rv 12:1).

Where can you find true peace, security, and happiness?
A young man who had the best the world could offer - wealth, position, and security - came to Jesus because he lacked one thing. He wanted the kind of lasting peace and happiness which money and possessions could not buy him. The answer he got, however, was not what he was looking for. He protested that he kept all the commandments - but Jesus spoke to the trouble in his heart. One thing kept him from giving himself wholeheartedly to God. While he lacked nothing in material goods, he was nonetheless possessive of what he had. He placed his hope and security in what he possessed. So when Jesus challenged him to make God his one true possession and treasure, he became dismayed.
What do you treasure the most?
Why did he go away from Jesus with sadness rather than with joy? His treasure and his hope for happiness were misplaced. Treasure has a special connection to the heart, the place of desire and longing, the place of will and focus. The thing we most set our heart on is our highest treasure. The Lord himself is the greatest treasure we can possibly have. Giving up everything else to have the Lord as our treasure is not sorrowful, but the greatest joy. See Jesus' parable about the treasure hidden in a field (Matthew 13:44). Selling all that we have could mean many different things - our friends, our job, our style of life, what we do with our free time.
Possessiveness and fear robs us of joy and abundant life
Jesus challenged the young man because his heart was possessive. He was afraid to give to others for fear that he would lose what he had gained. Those who are generous towards God and others find that they cannot outmatch God in generosity. God blesses us with innumerable spiritual goods - such as long-lasting peace, unspeakable joy, enduring love, abiding relationships and friendship that do not fade or fail - that far outweigh the fleeting joys of material possessions which fail to satisfy us beyond the present moment. God alone can satisfy the deepest longing and desires of our heart. Are you willing to part with anything that might keep you from seeking true and everlasting joy with Jesus?
Lord Jesus, you alone can satisfy the deepest longing in my heart. No other treasure can compare with you. Keep me free from all discontentment, possessiveness, greed and selfishness, that I may have joy in knowing that you alone are my true Treasure and my Portion.
Psalm 106:4a,35-40,43-44
4 Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people;
34 They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
35 they mingled with the nations and learned to do as they did.
36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;
38 they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the harlot in their doings.
40 Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;
43 Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes, and were brought low through their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: Seek the life that endures, by Augustine of Hippo, 354-430 A.D.
"The Lord said to a certain young man, 'If you would enter life, keep the commandments.' He did not say 'If you would have life' but 'If you would enter life,' defining that life as eternal life. Let us first consider then the love of this life. For this life is loved, whatever its quality - and however troubled it is, however wretched, people are afraid to end it. Hence we should see, we should consider, how much eternal life is to be loved, when this miserable life that must at some time be ended is so loved. Consider, brothers, how much that life is to be loved when it is a life you never end. You love this life, where you work so much, run, are busy, pant. In this busy life the obligations can scarcely be counted: sowing, plowing, working new land, sailing, grinding, cooking, weaving. And after all this hard work your life comes to an end. Look at what you suffer in this wretched life that you so love. And do you think that you will always live and never die? Temples, rocks, marbles, all reinforced by iron and lead, still fall. And a person thinks that he will never die? Learn therefore, brothers, to seek eternal life, when you will not endure these things but will reign with God forever." (excerpt from Sermon 84,1)
