The Last Dogma - We All Call Her Blessed

The Assumption of Mary
by Kilian John Healy
The Last Dogma - We All Call Her Blessed


"For all that God created is sacred and loved. Where Mary is, all the elect will be. Whoever contemplates this mystery learns much about God, Christ, Mary, the Church and oneself.The Virgin Mary is one who walked in the darkness of faith and never despaired, one who obeyed and never deserted, one who loved and was never unfaithful. She is an example of the perfect disciple. Mary was Jesus' first and the most perfect disciple of Christ. The Virgin Mary, taken up into heaven after her earthly life, remains for us the symbol of all that we should be, and of all that we will be, if only we are faithful to Christ. She is the woman in the life of Christ and the woman in the life of all who follow him.On earth Mary was the mother of Jesus and his wholehearted companion, his comfort and joy. Now in heaven close to Jesus, she watches over us with a mother's care and intercedes for us. She is our life, our sweetness and our hope. She is our shining example. Where she is, we shall be."

So glad this is in print again. If you don't have it, buy it, and don't give it away. Keep one in your library. Scott Hahn tells a great story about this at the end of Hail, Holy Queen (both in the book and then on the TV program he does with Mike Aquilina on EWTN) Mike has a great story about how he found a copy for me - even when he had none of his own - and that is a wonderful story, too!
