The Assumption of the Blessed Mother into Heaven

Browse our Rosary Collection

Perhaps the greatest Fiat Our Lady had to make, was saying Yes to staying on earth after her Son Jesus had left her physically to prepare her place in Heaven.  We must remember that she was with Him throughout His life, from the day He was born, through His early years, then His public ministry, to the day He was crucified.  She had to have grieved terribly when He was taken from her.

We believe that when Our Lord Jesus rose from the dead, the first person He came to was His dear Mother Mary, even before appearing to the women at the tomb.  If that is so, He may have given her the reason, at that time, why she had to stay on this earth.  The only thing that makes sense would be for her to remain as a support system for the Apostles and disciples during these early days of the Church.  Every time they looked at her, they would see Jesus.  She was the living representative of Our Lord here on earth.  They could draw strength from her. 

But what a price He was asking her to pay.  He had to know that her only desire was to be with Him.  To stay on the earth while He left her was breaking a lifelong bond.  Did Our Lord go to Mary and ask His most precious Mother to sacrifice precious time with Him, time when she could be with Him in Paradise, in order to nourish and protect the early Church?  Was He entreating her to deprive herself of the Beatific Vision, for however long it would take for the Apostles to feel secure without her?  If so, one thing we know; she said Yes again; because that always was, and still is, what Mary does; she says yes.  But it had to be a very hard yes.
