Question about the Assumption
« on: February 20, 2019, 02:57:06 PM »
Did the Blessed Virgin Mary actually die before she was assumed? If the punishment for sin is death, and if Mary was without original sin and never sinned in her lifetime, was she punished with death like the rest of mankind and then assumed into heaven? Or because of her sinlessness was she assumed while still actually living? I've been wondering this while pondering the Glorius mysteries of the rosary. Is there a good book or essay somewhere that explains this? Thanks.

According to Ven. Mary of Agreda, Our Lord appeared to his mother and gave her the choice to pass from this life to the next without experiencing death, or to die a normal death.  She replied that by saying just as she had followed Him during her life, so too she wished to follow him by experiencing death.   She died, and three days later her soul was reunited to her body and she was assumed into heaven.

She was either assumed into Heaven, while conscious, without dying or by dormition where she fell asleep, but she didn't die because she was incapable of death due to being Immaculately Conceived and choosing to remain sinless throughout her life, and she was taken to Heaven in her sleep. Either way, there was an Assumption (or "dormition" is the Eastern Catholic tradition) of her into Heaven.

Book: The Mystical City of God will answer your questions.  This book, 4 volumes is very good reading and very important.  Cure de Ars, St. john vianney kept this on his desk, and read and referred to it, along with his bible. Mary Agreda and St. John Vianney are both inncorruptables.
