“Mary’s assumption is an event that concerns us precisely because every human being is destined to die. But death is not the last word. It is the passage to the eternal happiness in store for those who toil for truth and justice and do their utmost to follow Christ.”
Pope John Paul II, Homily on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, August 15, 2001
