Assumption - Where is THAT in the Bible?!

Post by Denise »

August 15th is the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. Many have questions about what the doctrine of the Assumption is and why Catholics believe it.

This is not a new belief – Saint John Damascene wrote about it in the 8th century. – and Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio in his article, explains it in the language of the 21st.

Celebrate this greatest of all Marian Feasts and deepen your understanding of Mary's "Passover" from this life to heavenly glory!

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
