THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
15th AUGUST 2021
ANTICIPATING OUR RESURRECTION
BREAKING OPEN THE WORD
ANTICIPATING OUR RESURRECTION (Luke 1:39-56)
What do we Catholics mean when we express our conviction that, at the end of her earthly life, Mary was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory? Are we simply heaping praises upon Mary for her ‘specialness’? Or is there something deeper at stake?
In fact, like all Marian teachings, the Assumption speaks of the saving love of Christ that envelops our human lives. ‘For the Son of God became human, so that we might become God’ is a saving of the Church Fathers (cf. Catechism, 460). Mary, the ‘first disciple’ of Jesus Christ, walks with and before us in our own path of Christian discipleship. Her singular participation in her Son’s Resurrection is an anticipation of our resurrection. Who Mary is, we are becoming. One day we, too, will live forever with God in heavenly glory.
The Assumption is a compelling celebration of Christian hope, an affirmation of the human body, and deep-down encouragement in our earthly struggles.
