Video – The Assumption in Tradition – Dr Miravalle: MCast 42

Sunday, January 11th, 2009
Click to Play Video

Marycast #42 ( 10min) Play – How did the truth of Mary’s assumption grow in Church Tradition and Church liturgy over time?  St. Gregory of Tours was the first to given a written commentary regarding this truth in the 6th century, but was this event spoken of before that?  Was it perhaps listed as an earth Church heresy? Listen as Dr. Miravalle speaks on this and on the development, not distortion, of doctrine regarding this mystery.

Video – The Assumption in Scripture – Dr Miravalle: MCast 41

Marycast #41 ( 09min) Play – In 1948, Pope Pius XII put out a letter to the 1,232 bishops in the world at that time, asking them if they believed that the doctrine of the Assumption could be solemnly defined, and if their people desired such a definition.  What was the response?  Listen as Dr. Miravalle reveals the answer and discusses where in Sacred Scripture one can discover evidence for Mary being assumed into heaven after her earthly life.

Insights into the Coredemption

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Fr. Philip Neri Powell from Domine da mihi hanc aquam! has posted a very enlightened defense of Marian coredemption. In particular I would like to make note of his replies to the objections against the fifth Marian dogma. He says there are basically two objections: 1) “a declaration of the proposed dogma is unnecessary since Catholic theology already recognizes Mary’s unique role in God’s plan for human salvation”; 2) “the dogma is ecumenically dangerous in that it threatens good relations with other Christian ecclesial communities by seeming to elevate Mary to a level equal to that of Christ as sole Redeemer.” For a thorough response to these objections I send you directly to his post. What I am most interested in is his response to objection 2 which I think is brilliant:

Father Powell puts his finger on the fear of many Catholics to speak the truth in the face of Protestant objections: “That we would flinch from speaking the truth because some might misunderstand simply means that we fear a negative response from our ecumenical partners.” I find this very true, for example, when discussing the meaning of the term “coredemption.” Many of the Catholic objectors to the dogma say that “coredemption” is an inherently confusing term because of the various ways in which “co-” can be used as a prefix. In English it means generally, as Father Powell points out, “with” and “equal to,” which is not the case in Latin. The point is that, yes, the term needs to be explained, but so what? Why don’t we just explain it? (more…)

Aug 15 – Special Homily – Fr Angelo: Assumption Evening Mass

Homily #080815s ( 24min) Play – On the evening Mass for the Assumption of Our Lady, Fr. Angelo Geiger points out the fact that the feast of that great Marian Saint, Maximilian Kolbe, falls the day before the Assumption and so Fr. begins to outline the many ways that Mary is consecrated to our Lord just as St Maximilian Kolbe is consecrated to her and how she then enters into the redemption as Coredeemer and so enters bodily into heaven.

August 15th: The Solemnity of the The Assumption

MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS

Excerpts from the Apostolic Constitution defining “ex cathedra” (from the chair of Peter) the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin)
November 1, 1950

40. Hence the revered Mother of God, from all eternity joined in a hidden way with Jesus Christ in one and the same decree of predestination, immaculate in her conception, a most perfect virgin in her divine motherhood, the noble associate of the divine Redeemer who has won a complete triumph over sin and its consequences, finally obtained, as the supreme culmination of her privileges, that she should be preserved free from the corruption of the tomb and that, like her own Son, having overcome death, she might be taken up body and soul to the glory of heaven where, as Queen, she sits in splendor at the right hand of her Son, the immortal King of the Ages.
