The Assumption of Mary

The word "assumption" is vitally important, and it must be contrasted with the word "ascension." The former is an act done to someone, whereas the latter is an act done by one's own power. Mary was assumed, by her Son, into Heaven. This was not by any action on her part, or because of some power she possessed. Rather, it was by the Grace and Power of G-d.

Mary is also a foreshadowing of our future. One day (G-d willing) we, too, will be bodily assumed into Heaven to face our Final Judgment. We, too (again, G-d willing), will be given a crown. It's a sign, and assurance of our future.

Anyway, below are two past posts I've done on the Assumption. Enjoy!

Is the Assumption an assumption?
