The Assumption of the Virgin Mary
On November, 1950, Pope Pius XII declared the Assumption of the Blessed Mother a doctrine of faith. The taking up of the body and soul of the Mother of God into heaven was celebrated in Jerusalem as far back as the fifth Century. Gradually, various churches of East and West made it part of their calendar.
Rejoice with the Mother of God, with angels and saints, and celebrate this great Feast: the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. On earth, she was a fruitful virgin, in heaven, she intercedes for all; through this blessed woman, the Spirit's Gifts still flow upon us, and her works teach us gentle wisdom. At her assent the earth blossomed; she sought good things for the poor. Now in heaven, her care is undiminished, near her Son she seeks the good of us all.Top of Page
