Salpointe Weekly Peek – August 15, 2025

Today, on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we offer this prayer of praise and petition in celebration of the new school year:

Father in heaven,
all creation rightly gives you praise,
for all life and all holiness come from you.
In the plan of your wisdom
she who bore the Christ in her womb
was raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven.

As we begin this new school year, may we follow Mary’s example:

We ask this through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us.
