♔ ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY ♔


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.

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.

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…
