Wednesday 15 August, 2024 The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Assumption Of Mary, Scripture & The Fathers
Revelation 12:1 “And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.”
This woman had a crown on her head. That indicates that she is present in Heaven in both body and soul. Her Son rules all nations with a rod of iron (Rev. 12:5). That refers to Jesus. The “woman” in Revelation 12, therefore, refers to Our Lady. This woman is also understood to refer to the Church, since images in the Apocalypse can be polyvalent (i.e. they can have more than one meaning or application). However, the “woman” of Rev. 12 certainly refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This demonstrates that Scripture itself teaches the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven. Hence, there didn’t need to be much explicit early support for the Assumption of Our Lady in the writings of the fathers, since it was taught by the Apostle John in one of the books of Scripture. It’s certainly apostolic.
