Venerable Pius XII, MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS 40. …the revered Mother of God,
from all eternity joined in a hidden way with Jesus Christ in one and the same
decree of predestination, immaculate in her conception, a most perfect
virgin in her divine motherhood, the noble associate of the divine Redeemer who
has won a complete triumph over sin and its consequences, finally obtained, as
the supreme culmination of her privileges, that she should be preserved free
from the corruption of the tomb and that, like her own Son, having overcome
death, she might be taken up body and soul to the glory of heaven where, as
Queen, she sits in splendor at the right hand of her Son, the immortal King of
the Ages.

44. …after we have poured forth prayers of
supplication again and again to God, and have invoked the light of the Spirit
of Truth, for the glory of Almighty God who has lavished his special affection
upon the Virgin Mary, for the honor of her Son, the immortal King of the Ages
and the Victor over sin and death, for the increase of the glory of that same
august Mother, and for the joy and exultation of the entire Church; by the
authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and
by our own authority, we pronounce, declare, and
define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God,
the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was
assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.
Genesis 3:15 I will put enmities
between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy
head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
St Luke 1:28 And the angel being
come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art
thou among women.
Psalm 132:8 Arise, O Lord, into
thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.
1 Corinthians 15:22-23 And as in
Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. But everyone in his
own order: the first-fruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have
believed in his coming.
Revelation 11:19, 12:1 And the
temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in
his temple, and there were lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake, and great
hail. … And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and
the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars…
