REFLECTION
God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple.
A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. (Rev. 11:19a;12:1-2)
The Queen of Heaven's entrance into the Kingdom of the Divine Will and her happy entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven. (Our Virgin Mary's account of her assumption into heaven as she related to Luisa Piccarreta, Servant of God.)
"Now dear child, listen to Me. I was already infirm with love. The Divine Fiat, in order to console the Apostles, and also Myself, allowed almost in a prodigious way that all the Apostles, all except one, would surround Me like a crown at the moment I was about to depart to Heaven. All felt a blow to their hearts, and cried bitterly. I consoled them all, and entrusted to them, in a special way, the nascent Holy Church and I imparted my maternal blessing to all, leaving in their hearts, by virtue of it, the paternity of love toward souls. My dear Son did nothing but come and go from Heaven; He could no longer be without His Mother. And as I gave my last breath of pure love in the endlessness of the Divine Will, my Son received Me in His arms and took Me to Heaven, in the midst of the angelic choirs that sang praise their Queen. I can say that Heaven emptied itself to come to meet Me. All celebrated for Me, and in looking at Me, remained enraptured and said in chorus: "Who is She, who comes from the exile, all cleaving to Her Lord - all beautiful, all holy, with the scepter of Queen? Her greatness is such that the Heavens have lowered themselves to receive Her. No other creature has entered these celestial regions so adorned and striking - so powerful as to hold supremacy over everything."
"Now, my child, do you want to know who She is - for whom the whole of Heaven sings praise and remains enraptured? I am She who never did Her own will. The Divine Will abounded so much with Me as to extend heavens more beautiful, suns more refulgent, seas of beauty, of love, of sanctity, such that I could give light to all, love and sanctity to all, and enclose everything and everyone within my heaven. It was the work of the Divine Will operating in Me that had accomplished such a great prodigy; I was the only creature entering Heaven, who had done the Divine Will on earth as it is done in Heaven, and who had formed its Kingdom in my soul. Now looking at me the whole Celestial Court was amazed, because as they looked at Me, they found Me heaven; and returning to look at Me, they found Me sun; and unable to remove their gaze from Me, looking at Me more deeply, they saw Me sea, and they found in Me also the most clear earth of my humanity, with the most beautiful flowerings. And, enraptured they exclaimed: "How beautiful She is! She has everything centralized within Herself - She lacks nothing. Among all the works of Her Creator, She is the only complete work of the whole Creation."
"Now, blessed child, you must know that this was the first feast made in Heaven for the Divine Will, which had worked so many prodigies in its creature. So, at my entrance into Heaven, the whole Celestial Court celebrated that which, beautiful and great, the Divine Fiat can operate in the creature. Since then, these feasts have never been repeated, and this is why your Mother loves so much that the Divine Will reign in souls in an absolute way, to give it the field in order to let it repeat its great prodigies and its marvelous feasts."
Let us celebrate with our Heavenly Mother the happiest day in Heaven and on earth, when She was assumed into Heaven in the arms of Her beloved Son.
Happy Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven!
Let us pray and Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be and the Litany to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in celebration of Her Assumption into Heaven.
