Fourth Mystery: The Assumption of Mary
“The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.”Pope Pius XII, Munificentissimus Deus (1950)
At the end of her earthly life, the Blessed Virgin Mary is taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven, sharing first in her Son’s Resurrection. The Church solemnly defined this truth in 1950.
Fruit of the mystery: Grace of a happy death
