๐A message of hope delivered in times of despair, โAssumption of the Virgin Maryโ๐
On August 15, 1945, Japan's Emperor Hirohito declared surrender, ending "World War II", the worst war in human history.
70% of the 66 million deaths were civilians.
Six million of the civilian deaths were Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust.
However, most of the Germans who killed the Jews were Christians.
Most of the countries participating in the war in Europe are Christian countries.
Christians hated each other and killed each other, and the church was not free from responsibility for the war.
The brutal war ended, but the era of despair continued.
The streets were flooded with people who had lost their families, their jobs, and even their faith.
The church had to deliver a message of comfort and hope to those in despair.
A Message of Hope from the Church in Times of Despair
โAssumption of Maryโ
On November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII proclaimed the โDoctrine of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary,โ stating that โMaryโs body and soul are called to heavenly glory.โ
Assumption of Mary is different from the ascension of Jesus.
The word 'Ascensio', which expresses the ascension of Jesus in Latin, means 'ascend', which means that he ascended to heaven by his own power.
On the other hand, the word 'Assumptio', which expresses the ascension of the Blessed Virgin Mary, means 'to be lifted up', which means that she was called by God and lifted up to heaven.
The reason why โAssumption of the Blessed Virgin Maryโ is a message of comfort and hope is revealed through the suffering life of the Blessed Mother.
Due to her sudden pregnancy, she suffered a crisis of marriage breakup, went on a long trip with a full-term body, and gave birth to a child in a shabby stable.
As soon as she gave birth to her child, she fled to Egypt, heard a prophecy of her child's death, and lost her child in Jerusalem, only to find it again.
She watched as her innocent son was beaten, she heard the cries of the crowd to be crucified, and she met her son's face as he carried the cross.
She heard her son being crucified, watched his last breath, and mourned her son's body in her arms.
Her message of hope is that she was a woman who lived a hopeless life, but she was lifted up into the arms of God by living according to God's will.
The Assumption of the Virgin Mary means that Mary, who lived according to God's will, was fully accepted by God, and her destiny was completed in God.
We are also small and weak beings, but if we resemble the Blessed Mother and live according to God's will in any situation, we too will gain the glory of resurrection and eternal life like the Blessed Mother.
โMy soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowlinessโ (Luke 1,46-48)
