The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Spiritual Fruit: Grace of a Holy Death & Devotion to Mary
"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."
Contemplation on The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
At the end of her earthly life, the Virgin Mary is assumed body and soul into heavenly glory by the grace of God.
As we recite the ten Hail Marys of this decade, we fix our interior gaze upon this mystery of Christ's life. We ask for the grace to embody its spiritual fruit, Grace of a Holy Death & Devotion to Mary, in our daily lives.
Sealing the Decade with the Glory Be
At the close of the ten Hail Marys for this decade, we stand in spirit with the Blessed Mother and offer all our contemplation back to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with the Glory Be (Gloria Patri), acknowledging that all holiness flows from and returns to the Blessed Trinity.
