Mary’s Assumption is inseparable from her perfect detachment from sin and the world, her total conformity to the will of God, and her unique participation in Christ’s redemptive work through love, suffering, and humility. Let us imitate Mary and the saints by practicing detachment, living sacramentally, preparing daily for death, and trusting in Our Lady’s powerful intercession for perseverance and salvation. Key quotes from this sermon: St. Thomas Aquinas: “To reject one dogma is to reject them all.” St. Robert Bellarmine: The Art of Dying Well — “To die well, one must first die to the world.” St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Blessed is that death which is purchased at any price.” St. Francis of Assisi: “My God and my all.” St. John of the Cross: “One may be attached even to something holy, such as a rosary.” St. Augustine of Hippo: “Before sin, the devil tells you God is merciful; after sin, he tells you God will never forgive.” St. Alphonsus Liguori: “As you live, so you will die.” St. John Vianney: Assurance given to Augustine Cohen regarding his mother’s salvation through Marian intercession. St. Bernardine of Siena: Christ Himself went forth to meet His Mother at her Assumption. St. Anselm of Canterbury: Christ ascended first in order to prepare and accompany Mary to her heavenly throne. St. Peter Damian: The Assumption of Mary surpasses even the Ascension in splendor. St. John Damascene: Christ Himself gave Mary Holy Viaticum before her Dormition.
