Happy Feast Of The Assumption Of Mary

From every perspective, it is a joyful thought! Science is now discovering so much that only confirms what the Church has already taught us by Faith: that the mother of Our Lord, who contained all her life in her body what the Second Person of the Trinity had come down from Heaven to assume–a fully human body united with God Himself! — would out of justice and God’s mercy be taken up into Heaven, too, without suffering the decay of death.

While this is not a theological explanation, it is sweet when we get a scientific perspective to aid our meditations and the pondering in our hearts about what we already know from the Church. Astonishing on the one hand, but not unexpected!
