August 15, 2024: The Assumption of Mary with Angela McCarthy

Catholic Women Preach

Preaching for the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, Dr. Angela McCarthy offers a reflection on Mary's witness to us to live as a Resurrected people: "God’s presence in the world and revelation through the person of Jesus of Nazareth, culminates in the salvation of all creation through Christ’s death and resurrection. We are called to live as resurrected people, no longer afraid of the dragons that are both real and imagined, but as people of hope knowing that we follow Mary to a glorious union with God." Dr. Angela McCarthy is an adjunct senior lecturer in theology at The University of Notre Dame Australia based in Fremantle, Western Australia, where she earned her Ph.D. in theology and education in 2007. In addition to her extensive work in academia, publication, and editing, for many decades she has been working in her parish in liturgy and music. She has been married to John for 49 years, has 4 children and 14 grandchildren.
