\n\"Virgin<\/a>In the Ascension, the Lord, with His Resurrection, has
\nbecome the Master of the World. Therefore, there is One among us who will save
\neverything that we are, who is so powerful as to save our life, as to preserve
\nit entire in order to give it back to us whole by forgiving our sins. The
\ndemonstration of this is the mystery of the Assumption, when He took Our Lady’s
\nhumanity and did not leave her in the clutches of death even for an instant.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
With
\nthe mystery of the Assumption, the Lord says, “You see, I will not let you lose
\nanything of what I have given you, of what you have used, of what you have
\ntasted, even of what you have misused, if you are humble with me. Blessed are
\nthe poor in spirit, that is to say: if you acknowledge that everything is
\ngrace, that everything is mercy, because your criteria are nothing, my
\ncriterion will be everything.” Our Lady is already at this ultimate, profound
\nlevel of Being from which all beings draw substance, life, and destiny. This is
\nwhy she was bodily lifted into heaven, where the Mystery of God dwells: so that
\nshe would be for us, daily, the Mother of the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
The glorification of Our
\nLady’s body indicates the ideal of Christian morality, the valuing of every
\nmoment, every instant. Therefore it is the prizing of life, of our existence,
\nthe life of the world’s body, it is the exaltation of matter lived by the soul,
\nlived by the consciousness which is relationship with God. It is the prizing of
\nour earthly life, not because it is a lucky one due to particular
\ncircumstances, but because through even the smallest things is borne our
\nrelationship with the Infinite, with the mystery of God<\/span><\/p>\n
