“In her, assumed into Heaven, we are shown the eternal destiny that awaits us beyond the mystery of death: a destiny of total happiness in divine glory.”
– St. John Paul II
Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (paragraph 974) teaches, “The Most Blessed Virgin Mary, when the course of her earthly life was completed, was taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven, where she already shares in the glory of her Son's Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of his Body.”
We have a special page dedicated to the Solemnity of the Assumption. We answer questions such as:
- Is the Assumption of Mary in the Bible?
- What happened to Mary after Jesus ascended to Heaven?
- Did the Virgin Mary die?
On the page, we also offer a free eBook, The Pondering Heart of Mary. Filled with beautiful images and quotes, this eBook will encourage you to run to Our Lady and call upon her to guide you on the path of holiness.
We hope this eBook and this page help you grow closer to Our Blessed Mother and her beloved Son.
May God bless you!
In Christ,
Your EWTN Family
