MARIOLOGY

A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN (EXCERPT
FROM THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY)
Moreover, in heaven, we can hope
to meet once again those whom we loved and lived with on earth. Scriptures
does not speak of this but Mary's Assumption at the side of Christ is an
indication that love which began here on earth will continue in heaven. And
to this we can add the encouraging and consoling words of St. Cyprian:
"What man, stationed in a foreign land, would not want to return to his
own country as soon as possible? Well, we look upon Paradise as our country
and a great crowd of our loved ones awaits us there, a countless throng of
parents, brothers and children longs for us to join them. Assured though
they are of their own salvation, they are still concerned about ours. What
joy both for them and for us to see one another and embrace. O the
delight of that heavenly kingdom where there is no fear of death! O
the supreme and endless bliss of everlasting life!!!
