THE ASSUMPTION

THE ASSUMPTION




The Assumption
Of the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
Is the principal feast
of churches
Dedicated to Mary
Without any further title


GOD NEEEDED MARY
To fulfill his plan for salvation
And Mary
IS the flesh and blood of Jesus
THE HOLY ONE
That the Lord
Would not allow to see corruption


The ASSUMTION
Refers to Mary’s
BEING ASSUMED both body and soul
To heavenly glory-


SHE DID NOT DIE


On November 1^st, 1950
Pope Pius XIIth
Solemnly proclaimed it
As a DIVINELY REVEALED truth


“That the IMMACULATE MOTHER OF GOD
The ever-virgin Mary
On the completion of her earthly life
Was assumed
Body and soul into heaven”


By the Vth century
August 15^th was kept at Jerusalem
As the commemoration
Of the Assumption
Of the BLESSED Virgin Mary


In determining
That the Assumption of Mary
Become DOGMA in faith
And with pressure
From every diocese in the world


Pope Pius XIIth
Asked two questions:

1. Do you judge
   

That the bodily assumption
Of the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
Can be proposed and defined
AS A DOGMA OF FAITH?

2. Do you
   

And your clergy and people
Desire it


The answer to both questions
Were a resounding yes


And then
We have the Coronation
Of Mary in Revelation 12:1


“A GREAT and wondrous sign
APPEARED in heaven:


A woman clothed with the sun
With the moon
Under her feet
And a crown of twelve stars
On her head”


Mary is so closely
Associated with the mysteries
Of Jesus’ life
From birth
To the first miracle-
The wedding feast at Cana
And being present
At the crucifixion


That it is not surprising
That the Holy Spirit
Has led the Church
TO BELIEF
In Mary’s share
In his glorification


She was SO CLOSE
To Jesus on earth
That she must be with him
BOTH BODYAND SOUL
IN HEAVEN


HENCE THE ASSUMPTION
