It's fully possible that non-corporeal beings, beings which exist in a non-physical form, could influence the earthly realm. An example is the angel that led Peter out of the dungeon (Acts 12:6-11). Angels do not have bodies as we do, so are considered non-corporeal, but one could argue that the angel released Peter's chains and opened the gates so Peter could get out. It could have been a lot worse. At least the deacon didn't deny the Assumption.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and don't worry about typos. I usually have to proofread my posts several times before I catch all of them. I didn't even notice one that I had posted on this blog until I was giving the homily on Saturday night!Father Cory Stichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426512153670141621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-912950347138129741.post-22797442298864483652008-08-19T13:28:00.000-06:002008-08-19T13:28:00.000-06:00man - should really check my typos before I hit s...man - should really check my typos before I hit submit!<BR/><BR/>sorry.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-912950347138129741.post-53968580780539676432008-08-19T13:26:00.000-06:002008-08-19T13:26:00.000-06:00wish I could remember who wrote it (perhaps Scott ...wish I could remember who wrote it (perhaps Scott Hahn?) but someone was talking about how in the times of ancient Israel many nations had these arks or mercy seats and they were used in battle. <BR/><BR/>They would seat the queen of their people on them and carry them on a litter. And it was noted how telling and ironic it was that Israel's "ark" remained empty.<BR/><BR/>because the real "ark" and queen (Mary) hadn't come yet.<BR/><BR/>anywhooo - lied your homily better than ours.<BR/><BR/>Deacon told us that Mary was assumed into Heaven so that she could appear in future years in all these apparitions.
