August 15 - The Assumption: The Virgin Mary goes before us in the Order of Grace

Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days

Some say the Catholic Church "invented" the dogma of the Assumption; however, the Church does not invent dogma, rather she defines and proclaims God's revelation as it is contained in the depositum fidei, the original deposit of faith which is guarded and cherished in the living community of the Church, and which comprises both Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture. Simply, the belief in the Assumption is not new, but old. In fact, we find evidence for it in the writings of the Church Fathers.

For instance, St. Gregory of Tours wrote of the Assumption in about 590 A.D.: "The course of this life having been completed by the Blessed Mary, . . . [The Lord] commanded that [her holy body] be taken in a cloud into paradise."  St. John Damascene wrote in the eighth century: The Word of God "was pleased even after [Mary's] departure from life to honor her immaculate and undefiled body with incorruption and with translation [Assumption] prior to the common and universal resurrection."

Scripture does not prohibit Mary's Assumption. Although St. Paul teaches that the bodies of the just will be glorified at the general resurrection, Matthew 27:52-53 allows for an exception: After Jesus gave up his spirit on the cross, the "tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming forth from their tombs after his resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many."
