7fze fbaqma aflfae Nwmpiim The year of l950 A.D. was indeed a holy one. On November I of ThaT year His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, proclaimed The dogma of The Assumpfion of The Blessed Virgin Mary, which formally defines as a docfrine of FaiTh To be held and believed by every CaThoIic, ThaT- afTer her deafh The body of The Blessed Virgin reunifed wiTh her soul, and was miraculously Taken up inTo Heaven. This procla- maTion was greefed by The enTire Cafholic world wiTh a decided air of exhilarafion, noT because The Church now possessed ahnew docTrine To be be- lieved, buT because The definifion of The dogma has added anoTher brillianf sTar To Mary's already galaxial crown. The facT ThaT The papal declaraTion was primarily inspired noT by necessify buT merely To aTTribuTe furTher glorificafion To Mary makes The occasion even more memorable. AT IasT The age- old belief has been solemnly and infallibly seT forTh in clear, carefully chosen words by The Pope. The docTrine of The Assumpfion has been assidu- ously manTained by The Cafholic Church Through- ouT The many cenTuries of iTs exisTence wiThouT once being challenged in any serious manner. This is indeed a unique privilege, since pracTically all The oTher docTrines conTained in our deposiT of faiTh have undergone Their parficular periods of confro- versy which were finally seTTled by an official procla- maTion of The Pope. The AssumpTion is now -celebraTed on AugusT I5. This daTe is more probably The anniversary of The dedicaTion of some church Than The acTual anniver- sary of Our Lady's deaTh. AlThough The exacT origin of The feasT is sTilI uncerTain, iT is known ThaT iT was celebraTed, mosT likely in AugusT, in PalesTine be- fore The year 500 A.D. The feasT gradually became more prominenT, unTil in The Time of Pope Sergius I, abouT 700 A.D., iT was made a holyday of obliga- Tion. ThroughouT The ages in differenf counTries and aT differenT periods of Time The precise dafe of The celebraTion was shiffed. The primary daTes on which iT was celebraTed were: AugusT I5, 23, 29: January I, l8. To This day iTs daTe sTilI varies in differenf parTs of The world. Since The Time of The AposTles There has exisTed an unbroken TradiTion ThaT Mary's body was Taken from earfh To Heaven affer her deaTh. Regarding by Ronald Cenfrone '5l, Edifor The day, year, and especially The manner of Our Lady's deaTh, noThing is cerfainp nor is There really anyThing definifely known abouT The Time or place of her AssumpTion. IT is believed, however, ThaT The miraculous and magnificenT evenT occurred somewhere beTween Three and fifTeen years afTer Our Lord's Ascension. Two cifies. Jerusalem and Ephesus, claim To be The place of her deparTure. Alfhough This is The case, common consenT seems To favor Jerusalem, since in Jerusalem There is a shrine where she is believed To have been buried. According To ST. John Damascene, Mary died in The presence of all The AposTles. She was buried, buT when her Tomb was opened upon The requesT of ST. Thomas shorTly afferwards, iT was found To be empTy. The Aposfles Then concluded ThaT her body had been Taken up To Heaven. This has been The belief of The Church ever since-a belief ThaT became a dogma IasT November I. Since The days of The early ChrisTians, The members of The Church have held The MoTher of God in The greaTesT reverence and The highesf esfeem. No sooner had any of her sacred TruThs been aTTacked, Than The enTire Chrisfian world surged up To repel The erron- eous Teaching. This Time There was no error To be baTTered down, buT merely more honor and glory To be rendered To Our Blessed Lady. The corporal AssumpTion of Our Blessed MoTher exemplifies conclusively The magniTude and faifh- fulness of ChrisT's love for His Blessed MoTher. IT was only logical ThaT Chrisf would noT allow The body of His beloved MoTher To suffer The corrup- Tion of The grave. Since Mary was free from The guilf of original sin, as well as all oTher sin, she should also be free from The penaITies assumed along wiTh The Sin of Adam. Mary is The perfecf model of charify and long-suffering. She is The ideal of chasTiTy. In facT, no oTher human has ever exisTed who possessed The counfless number of vir- Tues which she personified. Mary sTands as our mosT powerful infercessor in Heaven. This facT along wiTh The correcf undersfanding of her Assumpfion is mosT conducive To increased devofion To The MoTher of God and, in These Troubled Times, mosT fiTTing for fervenf enTreaTies To her as Queen of Peace.
