Reject the “Voices of Death,” “Choose Life”– www.lifenews.com During Mass for the Solemnity of the Assumption, Pope Leo XIV gave a stirring homily calling for the faithful to reject “voices of death” and instead choose life, as the Blessed Virgin Mary did. “In our day, we are like Mary whenever we do not flee, whenever we make Jesus’ ‘yes’ our own,” Pope Leo said. “That ‘yes’ still lives and resists death in the martyrs of our time, in witnesses of faith and justice, of gentleness and peace. Thus this day of joy becomes also a day that calls us to choose — how and for whom we shall live.” The liturgy for this high feast day includes the Scripture passage about when Mary prays her “Magnificat,” which the Church continues to pray daily even now, Pope Leo noted.
