Roped to Our Lady since Her Assumption Tradition has it that the Apostles, dispersed into the world to preach the Gospel, found themselves miraculously gathered in Ephesus around the One who had presided over the birth (LG 69) and early development of the Church. Right after receiving Holy Communion from the hands of Saint Peter the Apostle, the holy angels lifted up the Mother of Our Savior to Heaven, body and soul. Since that day, the triumph and glory of Mary are everlasting. The solemnity of the Assumption, following her holy Dormition [in the catholic sense of the word, "the moment of her passing from this earth directly into heaven without undergoing the corruption of the flesh or the separation of all-pure soul from her precious body, since she is the Immaculate Conception] is in reality a celebration of her powerful queenship. By going straight to heaven in her holy Assumption, the Most Blessed Virgin Mary became the Advocate and Patroness of all the dying. Thus, she can diminish and lessen the pain and suffering that we will all experience when we die. Roped to Our Lady of Good Death, let us invoke her maternal love at our last hour with even more confidence!
