Hail Holy Queen

The Church teachesthat the Immaculate Vir-gin, by a special privilege,was taken up bodyand soul into heav-

enly glory at theend of her earthlylife. "The Assumptionis the culmination ofthe struggle whichinvolved Mary's gen-erous love in the re-demption of human-ity and is the fruit ofher unique sharing inthe victory of the

Cross."Mary, unlike Christians

who die in God's grace,was taken up into theglory of heaven with herbody. The Second VaticanCouncil affirms that theImmaculate Virgin "wastaken up body and soulinto heavenly glory,

La Iglesia ensea que laVirgen Inmaculada, por unprivilegio especial, ascen-

di en cuerpo y al-ma a la gloria ce-

lestial al final de suvida terrenal. "LaAsuncin es la cul-minacin de la luchaque implic el amorgeneroso de Maraen la redencin dela humanidad y es elfruto de su partici-pacin singular en lavictoria de la Cruz."

Mara, a diferen-cia de los cristianos quemueren en la gracia deDios, fue elevada la gloriadel cielo con su cuerpo. ElConcilio Vaticano II afirmaque la Virgen Inmaculada,"fue llevada en cuerpo yalma a la gloria celestial,cuando su vida terrenal

when her earthly life was over." The dogma of the Assumption affirms that Mary's bodywas glorified after her death. In fact, while for other human beings the resurrection of thebody will take place at the end of the world, for Mary the glorification of her body was an-ticipated by a special privilege.

On 1 November 1950, in defining the dogma of the Assumption, Pius XII avoided using theterm "resurrection. He affirmed the elevation of Mary's body to heavenly glory, declaringthis truth a "divinely revealed dogma". The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin has always

been part of the faith of the Christian people who, by affirming Mary's entrance into heav-enly glory, have meant to proclaim the glorification of her body.

The first trace of belief in the Virgin's Assumption can be found in the apocryphal ac-counts entitled Transitus Mariae, whose origin dates to the second and third centuries.These are popular and sometimes romanticized depictions, which in this case, however, pickup an intuition of faith on the part of God's People. Later, there was a long period of grow-ing reflection on Mary's destiny in the next world. This gradually led the faithful to be-lieve in the glorious raising of the Mother of Jesus, in body and soul, and to the institu-tion in the East of the liturgical feasts of the Dormition and Assumption of Mary.

Belief in the glorious destiny of the body and soul of the Lord's Mother after her death

spread very rapidly from East to West, and has been widespread since the 14th century. Inour century, on the Eve of the definition of the dogma it was a truth almost universallyaccepted and professed by the Christian community in every corner of the world. John Paul II

There is much to say about the role of Mary in Scripture. We can talk about the announce-ment, invitation to Mary to be the portal through which the Divine Savior was to enter the worldat the Annunciation (Luke 1:28); we can talk about Marys fiather declaration Let i t be wi t h meaccordi ng t o your word(Luke 1:38b); we can talk about Elizabeths proclamation, Blessed areyou among women, and blessed is the f rui t of y our womb.(Luke 1:42) We can discuss the im-age of Mary in the Book of Revelation, where she is depicted as the very face of the Church in theheavenly realm; or we can talk about how Jesus addresses her in the Miracle at Cana account, as

(the context suggests)Eve. (John 2:4) We can even note how, there, she decides that now is thetime for Jesus Messianic ministry to begin. Indeed, an understanding of Johns Gospel as a wholeis essential for understanding the importance of the doctrine of the Assumption.

In the Bread of Life Discourse(John 6:22-71), Jesus repeatedly promises that those who be-come one with him in his Flesh and Blood, on the last day, will be taken up with him in resur-rection. But let us look back to the Prologue of the Gospel. There we read that, The Word[Logos] became flesh, and [to translate literally] pitched his tent among us. (1:14a) Whatdoes this mean? Why is it important that he pitched his tent? Our translations usually read,made his dwelling, or dwelt; but the real implication of the phrase is that the Word setup his tabernacle among us. Note that setting up his tabernacle is linked with his being madeflesh, and his coming into the world. This happens through Mary. For the first nine months of

the Incarnation, Mary is that tabernaclethe tent beneath which Gods unique presence issheltered. Through the Eucharist, we can gain a share in that reality.

Marys relationship to Christ is literally pregnant with symbolism. Christians agree thatChrist is the New Adam, in whom the human race finds a second chance at grace. That makesMary the New Eve. The first time around, Evethe mother of all the livingwas taken outof her man. (Gen. 2:23b) This time, it is the other way around. The New Adam is taken out ofEve at the Ave of the Annunciation. She becomes, not only the mother of all the living,but the mother of the living God, and all who live through him as children, miraculouslyborn through the regenerating power of the Eucharistnot by natural generation nor byhuman choice nor by a mans decision but of God. (John 1:13) Richard H. Bulzacchelli, S.T.L.

haba terminado." El dogma de la Asuncin afirma que el cuerpo de Mara fue glorificado des-pus de su muerte. De hecho, mientras que para otros seres humanos la resurreccin de la carneocurrir en el fin del mundo, para Mara la glorificacin de su cuerpo fue anticipada por unprivilegio especial.

El 1 de noviembre de 1950, en la definicin del dogma de la Asuncin, Po XII evit utilizar eltrmino "resurreccin". ....Afirm la elevacin del cuerpo de Mara a la gloria celeste, declaran-do esta verdad un "dogma de revelacin divina". La Asuncin de la Santsima Virgen ha sidosiempre parte de la fe del pueblo cristiano que, mediante la afirmacin de la entrada de Mara ala gloria celestial, han hecho de proclamar la glorificacin de su cuerpo.

El primer rastro de la creencia en la Asuncin de la Virgen se pueden encontrar en las cuen-tas apcrifas derecho Trnsito Mariae, cuyo origen data de los siglos segundo y tercero. Estos sonmuy populares y, a veces representaciones romnticas, que en este caso, sin embargo, recoge unaintuicin de fe por parte del pueblo de Dios. Ms tarde, haba un perodo largo de la reflexin cre-ciente en el destino de Mara en el siguiente mundo. Este gradualmente condujo a los fieles acreer en el levantamiento glorioso de la Madre de Jess, en cuerpo y alma, ya la institucin enel Oriente de las fiestas litrgicas de la Dormicin y Asuncin de Mara.

La creencia en el destino glorioso del cuerpo y el alma de la Madre del Seor despus de sumuerte se extendi muy rpidamente del este al oeste, y se ha generalizado desde el siglo 14. En

nuestro siglo, en la vspera de la definicin del dogma era una verdad casi universalmenteaceptada y profesada por la comunidad cristiana en todos los rincones del mundo. Juan Pablo II

Hay mucho que decir sobre el papel de Mara en la Escritura. Podemos hablar del anuncio, lainvitacin a Mara para ser el portal a travs del cual el Divino Salvador deba entrar el mundo dela Anunciacin (Lucas 1:28), podemos hablar de Mara a su fiatla declaracin "Hgase en m segntu palabra". (Lucas 1:38b), se puede hablar de la proclamacin de Isabel, "Bendita tu eres entremujeres y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre"(Lucas 01:42) podemos discutir la imagen de Mara enla libro de la Revelacin, donde se representa como el rostro de la Iglesia en el reino celestial, opodemos hablar de cmo Jess se dirige a ella en el milagro en Cana cuenta, como (el contexto sugie-re) "Eva". (Juan 2:04) Incluso podemos observar cmo, ah, ella decide que es el momento para elministerio mesinico de Jess para comenzar. De hecho, la comprensin del Evangelio de Juan en

su conjunto es esencial para la comprensin de la importancia de la doctrina de la Asuncin.

En el "Discurso del Pan de Vida"(Juan 6:22-71), Jess promete repetidamente que aquellos quese convierten en uno con l en su Cuerpo y Sangre, en el ltimo da, se tomar con l en la resu-rreccin. Pero vamos a ver de nuevo al Prlogo del Evangelio. All leemos que: "La Palabra [Logos]se hizo carne, y [de traducir literalmente] puso su morada entre nosotros". (1:14 a) Qu significaesto? Por qu es importante que l "puso su tienda de compaa"? Nuestras traducciones suelenleer, "hizo su morada", o "morado", pero la implicacin real de la frase es que la palabra"estableci su tabernculo" entre nosotros. Tenga en cuenta que el establecimiento de su ta-bernculo est vinculado con su carne est hecha, y su venida al mundo. Esto ocurre a travs deMara. Para los primeros nueve meses de la Encarnacin, Mara es ese tabernculola tienda de-bajo de la cual la presencia nica de Dios est al abrigo. A travs de la Eucarista, podemos ob-

tener una participacin en esa realidad.La relacin de Mara con Cristo es literalmente embarazada de simbolismo. Los cristianos estn

de acuerdo en que Cristo es el Nuevo Adn, en el que la raza humana se encuentra una segundaoportunidad en la gracia. Eso hace que Mara, la nueva Eva. La primera vez, Eva, la madre de to-dos los vivientes, fue "porque del varn ha sido tomada". (Gnesis 2:23b)En esta ocasin, es alrevs. El nuevo Adn se saca de Eva... en el "Ave"de la Anunciacin. Ella se convierte, no slo ala madre de todos los vivientes, pero la madre del Dios vivo, y todos los que viven a travs del como hijos, nacido milagrosamente por el poder regenerador de la Eucarista "la cual nonaci de sangre, ni de deseo de hombre, sino que naci de Dios". (Juan 1:13)
