The Feast of the Assumption




Living an Assumed Life

After her earthly life was ended, Mary was Assumed Body and Soul into Heaven,
Where she was united with her Son.

For Mary, however being Assumed into heaven was the culmination of living an Assumed life on earth.

Living an assumed life means never being separated from Christ.

At Nazareth, Mary conceived the Son of God in her heart and in her womb.
At Bethlehem, she gave birth to the Messiah and held Him in her arms.
Once again at Nazareth, Mary sat at the right hand of the Son of God for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
And at Calvary, she stood beside Jesus in His suffering and death.

Throughout Mary's life, she was always beside her Son.
So being Assumed into heaven was nothing new.
Rather it was the culmination of a life of Faith lived with Jesus.
Because those who believe in Christ will be with Him wherever He is. Jn. 14:3

Living an assumed life means never being separated from Christ.

From Nazareth to Bethlehem to Egypt to Calvary, Mary was never separated from her Son.
Neither then could Death separate her from Him.

And if we lived an Assumed life here on earth, then nothing will ever separate us from the Love of God, not trial or distress, persecution or famine, or nakedness or danger or the sword. Rom. 8:35
Not even Death!
