At the core of our faith is the belief, based on the biblical accounts, that Christ experienced a bodily resurrection from the dead and ascended, while still in bodily form, to heaven. The Assumption of Mary confirms that this extraordinary reversal of death is not limited to Christ. If Mary can end up in heaven, body and soul, so can we who share ...
The whole point of the dogma is its emphasis on Mary’s bodily Assumption. Otherwise, there would be no need for it. Arguing that Mary’s soul went to heaven at the end of her earthly life is to claim nothing different than what happens to every other person who died in a state of grace. (Of course, those who aren’t saints would have to stop in purga...

Thanks to the Assumption, it is impossibleto think of her without thinking of her being in the fullness of Christ’s heavenly presence.
Although souls in heaven are not deprived of the beatific vision, they are somewhat limited by not having bodies, according to St. Thomas Aquinas. He explains that souls without bodies are in an unnatural state, which lacks perfection, and are denied the fullness of happiness. Even the beatific vision is affected in a way. Although God is seeing th...
One further implication of what has just been stated above is that Mary’s beauty in heaven is perfected. She is not a disembodied soul. She is not a spirit flitting about in paradise. The beauty that became espoused to the Holy Spirit lives in her fullness in heaven, as the vision of Revelation 12shows us so well. This is one reason that the Church...
