In 1950, Pope Pius XII made an infallible, “ex cathedra” statement in the apostolic constitution Munificentissimus Deus officially defining the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. “By the authority of Our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that 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,” the pope wrote.
The Assumption of Mary into Heaven is a sign of hope for all because our bodies are also destined for resurrection and glory in Christ.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
