The Fourth Glorious Mystery- The Assumption Of Mary Into Heaven

The Apostles now strengthened and empowered go out to foreign lands to preach and teach what Jesus taught them. Our Blessed Mother goes to live with John, the beloved disciple. Mary lives many years on earth after the death of Christ.

She is a source of comfort, consolation and strength to the apostles. As she had nourished the infant Jesus, so she nourishes spiritually the infant Church.

Mary dies, not of bodily sickness, but is consumed in a mystical sea of divine love. Her body as well as her soul is taken up into heaven.

After her burial the Apostles go to the tomb and find only fragrant lilies. Jesus does not permit the sinless body of His Mother to decay in the grave.

Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
