What The Assumption Tells Us about Heaven
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2019
- Heaven is a mystery, so anything Mary’s assumption can tell us about it is a good thing. After all, if we want to go to heaven it’s good to know as much as we can about it. That’s why the Assumption should be taken seriously. It’s a glimpse into the mystery that awaits us, that will be fulfilled if we stay in loving relationship with God.
Fr. Mark-Mary compares Mary’s reuniting with Jesus in heaven to a soldier being reunited with his family after battle. The Solemnity of the Assumption offers a foretaste of our reunion with God. No wonder the Church makes this day a holy day of obligation. Maybe we should take a closer look at what God is telling us through Mary’s assumption.

If anyone can pray for me: My faith has been shaking lately and I wanna keep following Christ and not fall away from the Church, just doubts are getting powerful
Satan causes doubts and fear and will tell you lies, the devil will use those closest to you to attack you and try to get you to give up on your faith. Pray every day, go to church as much as possible receiving holy communion, go to confession, do everything for God, when your going through a trial offer up your struggles to God, your faith will be tested by God, never stop praying.
Hopefully your faith is stronger than ever, the world is coming to an end soon
Can you guys pray for me? I'm not really feeling good today. I just want help praying for a better day and mood.
If you have the chance, go to mass! It really makes a difference
Ave Maria.

Done. Know the Lord suffers with you and you shall rise with Him. Amen.
Yes! Praying for you now!

Oregon Jesus Preacher Why do they always pray to Mary rather than God
Oregon Jesus Preacher amen Tim
@@Wgaither1 I agree with this. were praying to a women who was just human.
@@Wgaither1 i dont know how many times we have to reiterate it: we don't pray to Mary we ask for her intercession. "Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now and in the hour of our death Amen." We know she's isn't God but she can intercede for us in heaven.
Besides, the Catholic Church is the one true church which the head and founder is Jesus Christ; which Protestants have left and created their own ideologies.
It's wonderful that Our Lady Assumed into Heaven is the Patroness of South Africa.
Lynn Cw and it took over 1900 to pronounce the assumption. What took the church so long and what was the evidence?
@@Wgaither1 no. It was defined in 1950 but had been a teaching in the early Church.
@Phillip Hickman don't read the comments if you don't like it. Anyway, we don't idolise Mary. We honour and revere her for being the Mother of God!! See the difference??
@Phillip Hickman Mary points everybody to her Son. Everything and everybody all the time. She is His mother and she never forgets that. She is His biggest advocate. Don't belittle Mary.
@Phillip Hickman the Holy Trinity. They are one and the same. God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, three in one.
Wonderful analogy of a soldier returning home from war. Thank you Fr. Let's hope we see Ukrainian and Russian soldiers returning home soon also.
In the past and now ...I’ve prayed for a deeper/intimate relationship with The one True God...last four months I’ve heard about the Eucharist..‘Fiat’ I am desiring....(I holding on to the prayers I have recently learned) 🙏🏾
Our time comes everyday, to love one another as I have loved you. That is heaven on this side.✝️
I am so looking forward to Heaven 💖🙏
Brother your alive you woke up this morning you can breath an the list goes on look around you our God is giving us all of this at no cost think about other that maybe last night they went to bed and they didn't woke up this morning but for you and me He is giving us this beautiful day to find the way to make our best and the rest He will do it God bless life is not perfect

The Beatific Vision requires great commitment and suffering. That being said if is a gift from God. The fullness of the love relationship between God and His Creation. ❤️🌹❤️
You still have to do your Holy Works.
Thank you Father, you are a blessing to me !
@Oregon Jesus Preacher *"There is only One Father, and He is in Heaven."* -- Unfortunately Jesus does not agree with you:
Matt. 15:4-5; 19:19 - Jesus uses “father” when He teaches God’s commandment to “Honor your father and your mother.”
Mark 7:10-12; Luke 18:20 - these are more examples of Jesus using “father” when teaching about honoring our fathers and mothers.
Eph. 6:2,4 - Paul also teaches to honor your “father” and mother, and says “fathers,” do not provoke your children.
Matt. 10:21; 35,37; Mark 13:12 - Jesus says “father” will deliver up his child in the last days.
Matt. 19:5; Mark 10:7,19 - Jesus says a man shall leave his “father” and mother and be joined to his wife. See also Eph. 5:31.
Matt. 19:29; Mark 10:29-30 - Jesus says whoever has left mother or “father” for His sake shall receive a hundredfold.
Matt. 21:31 - Jesus uses “father” when he teaches about the parable of the two sons and asks, “who did the will of his “father?”
Luke 6:23,26 - Jesus speaks about reward and punishment with reference to what their “fathers” did to the prophets.
Luke 11:11 - Jesus says what “father” among you will give his child a serpent when he asks for a fish.
Luke 11:47-48 - Jesus tells the lawyers they are witnesses to the deeds of their “fathers.”
Luke 14:26 - Jesus says we must leave our “fathers” and mothers and come to him, or we cannot be His disciple.
Luke 15:12,17-18,20-22,27-29 - Jesus repeatedly uses “father” when teaching about the prodigal son.
Luke 16:27 - Jesus uses “father” when teaching about the rich man in purgatory.
John 6:49,58 - Jesus says your “fathers” ate the manna in the wilderness and died.
John 7:22 - Jesus refers to the “fathers” who gave the Jews the practice of circumcision.
John 8:56 - Jesus tells the Jews your “Father” Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day.
@Oregon Jesus Preacher *"Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven."* -- Then with the other verses presented Jesus clearly refers to earthly men as ''fathers'' Jesus is God therefore cannot err. So the contradiction lies with the reader, taking verses entirely out of context (“eisegesis”). Look at verse Matt. 23:8 - in this teaching, Jesus also says not to call anyone teacher or rabbi as well. So that means no one is to call their teachers “teacher?”
@Oregon Jesus Preacher *"Yes, Jesus said not to call anyone rabbi or teacher, that is mainly because they were listening to false teachers and rabbis and not Him."* -- See how you argue regarding 'call no man father' but accept you can call a teacher teacher because you know how absurd it would be. Yet Jesus was using the exact same context in Matt 23:9.
*"but no where does it say "Priest"."* -- Acts 20:17,28 - Paul refers to both the elders or priests (“presbyteroi”) and the bishops (“episkopoi”) of the Church.
Just beautiful Father Mark-Mary...you really made a wonderful analogy. May you and your fellow Priests and Brothers be abundantly blessed for all that you do to save souls. THANK YOU for giving God your yes!
I am learning so much from you, Father Mark Mary! This was wonderful! I want to fall in love with Jesus and our Blessed Mother Mary! I'm working on it. This horrible pandemic has also been a blessing in disguise. I'm praying more than ever, watching spiritual videos (especially yours!), and reading my Bible daily. Yes, the time at home has helped along with the fear of what's coming next. Now, I realize there is nothing to fear. Stay strong in faith and trust in God....and fall in love with Him! God bless you Father! God bless us all!
Watching this a year later on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! this is so beautiful thank you Father Mark Mary!
God is good
Thank you, Fr Mark-Mary!
Oregon Jesus Preacher good point
@Oregon Jesus Preacher it's a version of name Marian - Maria, Marian (Mary) - which can be used as a middle name.
Thank you so much! My husband passed away and your words make me feel better. God bless you!
Thank you, Fr. Mark Mary! You tied all of it together very well.
This was beautiful, thank you Father Mark Mary!
Beautiful message thank you and bless you too
Beautiful video ❤️✝️🔥
Wow, that was awesome!
Thank you
Claro que si: Vamos a llegar!!!
Gracias por compartir hermano!
Que el Espíritu Santo nos siga guiando y santificado. Saludos
Raised in our faith all my life had a side step on mother Mary for years. Then got very sick just recently and someone close to me helped me understand to the power of Mary. And the watching this channel by happen stance truly opened my eyes to what I was missing. God bless brothers your doing the lords works
I’ll look you up in Heaven, Father Mark Mary. Promise.
Thank you. From Italy.
Hey guys: download the ebook/ audible app book : ‘Imagine Heaven’ ☺️☺️☺️☺️ christian book filled with amazing testimonies of hospital patients or those who had accidents and were granted a glimpse of Heaven!!!!!
Abc 123, I loved this book! It’s great, and it’s what got me back on track to Jesus after I got kicked out of the last church I belonged to. Long story, but basically, I was being stalked, so it really was a good thing to happen to me! As a result, I kinda fell away because of anger, but I learned that we can’t blame God and the Church because of the actions of misguided humans. 💕💜
Hi Father Mark, If I don't meet you before, I'll see you there! Blessings,
Oml just realised I'm early 😂😂 GOD BLESS EVERYONE !!
Who is She that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array?

@@littlelulu5675 and Mary, Mother and Model of the Church
.....O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee!
Thank you for that wonderful message Father, I live in Africa and I see so many horrible things that happen on almost a daily basis and to be honest it has shaken my faith and hope for the salvation of humanity to the absolute core. I have tears in my eyes because I have so much fear of what maybe and the kind of world my children will grow up in...The worst part is that I have downplayed my Cacthlosism so much that even now I feel no guilt whatsoever when I go to holy mass in a state of mortal sin and dont receive the sacrament of the Eucharist. I love my God with out a doubt but the truth is I am totally lost and cant seem to find my way back and I feel like I have been forgiven much too often by God and I truly dont deserve a second chance...sorry for the long confused message... 😢
Ask God to strengthen your faith and hope if they are weak. Don't stop going to church or asking for His forgiveness. He never gets tired of forgiving us. We are the ones that cannot forgive ourselves sometimes. Remember the parable of the prodigal son... God is always waiting for us to return to Him.
Amen
The Institutional Church should have had Masses the previous night and on the actual night so that people could celebrate the Assumption. Most parishes only had the Monday morning Mass.
I hope to see you in Heaven. 🕆📿❤👍
Poco a poco ❤
Hello Father. You are so down to earth but yet very wise. I need to deepen my prayer life , i have prayed the rosary but keep losing focus. I read the bible and some spiritual writers , then i do a put father , a few words to god and a hail mary.
Is it a good way of prayer? Any advise?
May god bless you and give you strenght in your spiriyual journey.
Great teaching Just heard from a priest who I think just misspoken to make a point that Mass is not only for personnel prayer. He said that if you want personal prayer go to an adoration chapel. As you just taught we are not baptized into an abstraction but a mystery. My patron Saint is Teresa OCD and her little sister Therese writings did not give me the impression that Mass was not for personnel prayer. I totally agree it is a communal prayer but if we are not fully participating on a personal level with the mystery doesn't that make us Protestant? This is my body...This is my blood....????

A heared a priest say that heaven isn't a place, but it's a state of mind. But how could have Marry's body been assumed into a state of mind?
Its very much a place
That priest taught fasley. Heaven is a place. It's not a state of mind. Mary and Our Lord are fully in Heaven.
@@johnpglackin345 I agree! :)
By now I don't even remember what priest I heard this from but we should pray for him
I had hoped you would actually talk about Mary's actual assumption into heaven, but the title topic got lost in all the analogies and anecdotes. Mary's assumption was hardly mentioned until 7.5 minutes into a 9 minute video, and then only in passing. I'll have to keep looking.
Heaven is a State of Mind..A Place of Peace! In which you are following God Within You..and Not The World..or Men and their opinions and institutions.
kathleen Wharton
No Kathleen it's not a state of mind but the will of the Father actualised. Read the Our Father prayer " thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven ".
+barry mcgrath..you are right. The dream that God puts in your Mind..He actulizes it! That is Heaven..when God makes your dream come True!
@@kathleenwharton2139 I'm happy to conform to God's will for whatever heaven might be like, if His will is for me to be there one day.
+Paul Miller..of course! Gods Will is for You to go to Heaven. He would never have any other will for you than that! He Loves You! Seek Him EveryDay..He will Give You Everything You Need and deliver You from evil. That is Jesus Promise. That is Gods Will!
@@kathleenwharton2139 My point was we are completely dependent on God, and I'm fine with that.

Mary is the New Eve (Gen 3:15, Luke 1:38, Jn 2:4, Jn 19:26, Gal 4:4, Rev 12:1, Rev 12:17)
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION:
As Eve was created sinless, the New Eve was born unstained by original sin. How can the New Eve be inferior to the old?
ASSUMPTION OF MARY:
If Adam and Eve had obeyed God, they would have entered heaven body and soul. Since the new creation is the fulfillment of the failure of the old, Jesus, the New Adam, and Mary, the New Eve, obeyed God perfectly. Because of their perfect obedience, Jesus ascends body and soul into heaven and Mary is assumed body and soul into heaven. Assumed because Mary enters heaven through God's power. Jesus ascended by his own power because he is God.
CO-REDEMPTRIX:
Both Adam and Eve sinned but it was Adam's sin that caused the downfall. Nevetheless, Eve was Co-Transgressor as she played a vital part in man's downfall. In a similar manner, although Jesus' obedience redeemed man, Mary was Co-Redemptrix as she played a vital role in man's redemption. Eve listens to a fallen angel, sins, and tempts Adam who brings the fall of man. Mary listens to an Angel, accepts God's plan, gives birth toJesus who is the redeemer of man.
MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACES:
Mary is Mediatrix of All Graces because Mary gives birth to Jesus who reconciles man to God so we can receive God's grace.
Also through Mary's intercessory prayers, we receive God's grace as displayed at the wedding at Cana when Jesus truned water into wine when Mary asked him for assistance. It is not Mary's grace, but God's grace that we receive through Mary's intercession.
Mary is the New Ark of the Covenant (Ex 40:34-35, Lk 1:35), (2 Sam 6:1-11, Lk 1:39), (2 Sam 6:14, Lk 1:43), (2 Sam 6:15, Lk 1:42), (2 Sam 6:9, Lk 1:43), ( 2 Sam 6:11, Lk 1:56), (2 Sam 6:11, Lk 1:39-45), (Ex 16:33-34, Ex 25:16, Num 17:10, Heb 9:5), (Rev 11:19, Rev 12:1)
Prefigured in Jephthah's daughter (Luke 1:34,38 Judges 11:35-39)
EVER VIRGIN:
No man could touch the Ark (2 Sam 6:7). Similarly no man could touch Mary the New Ark of the covenant. Mary's viriginy upholds the divinity of Jesus. The Ark's main purpose was to bring the presence of God to his people. Similarly, the New Ark's main purpose was to bring the prescence of Jesus (God/Man) to the world. Sacred vessles set aside for God, cannot be used for normal use. Like a goblet used in worship cannot be used to drink wine at dinner. Simiarly Mary's womb set aside to bring God's prescence into the world cannot be used for normal use.
Luke in 1:34,38 was alluding to Jephthah's daughter in Judges 11 who accepted the will of her father and was ever virgin. Likewise because Mary accepted God the Father's will, she became ever virgin. Her womb dedicated to God, could not be used for normal activity.

Anyone been to Heaven and is there cars in heaven? What will happen after first few weeks will boredom kick in?
First Name You travel at the speed of thought in heaven. You will never become bored in heaven. Boredom is of the evil one.
There is so much we dont know about Heaven but we know we will never be bored and it’s amazing
I'm married to a Catholic and trying to understand the church. How do we know Mary was assumed into heaven? I'm not the most well read on scripture but I haven't been able to find anything in the gospels speaking of it.
Have you ever read Rome Sweet Home by the Hahn's? It's how I learned about the faith. It explains those questions and more. I hope you read it.
@@anonymousmedusa9667 I have not, I might look into it though. Is it on the assumption or doctrine in general? I have a few resources that I've been reading for understanding. I'm to the point where I generally know what the doctrine is, but not why the doctrine is. That is the part that tends to not click for me, if that makes sense.
@Oregon Jesus Preacher Not most people. There are only about half as many Protestants (of all types, across many, many disparate theologies) as Catholics, so most people are fine with Catholic Sacred Tradition.
@Oregon Jesus Preacher Doing the rounds are we, with your anti-catholic tirades? *"Jesus doesn't approve of religious tradition."* -- You mean Apostolic tradition. He does in fact as do the Inspired Apostles. Mark 3:14; 16:15 - Jesus commands the apostles to preach (not write) the gospel to the world. Jesus gives no commandment to the apostles to write, and gives them no indication that the oral apostolic word he commanded them to communicate would later die in the fourth century.
Luke 10:16 - He who hears you (not “who reads your writings”), hears me. The oral word passes from Jesus to the apostles to their successors by the gracious gifts of the Holy Spirit. This succession has been preserved in the Holy Catholic Church. For the very same Apostolic succession decided which books would make up the Bible, the Bible that Reformers accept.
Acts 2:42 - the members obeyed apostolic tradition (doctrine, prayers, and the breaking of bread). Their obedience was not to the Scriptures alone. Tradition (in Greek, “paradosis”) means “to hand on” teaching.
*"Jesus never burned incense"* -- How would you know with your Sola Scriptura doctrine? John 20:30; 21:25 - Jesus did many other things not written in the Scriptures. These have been preserved through the oral apostolic tradition and they are equally a part of the Deposit of Faith.
Rev. 8:3-4 - in heaven an angel mingles incense with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne of God, and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God.
*"They have many doctrines about Mary, which are not the teachings of Jesus. Jesus never exalted or praised His mother anywhere in the Bible"* -- Here is proof that protestantism changes over time whereas Catholic doctrine has remained unchanged for 2,000 years:
Martin Luther:
Mary the Mother of God
Throughout his life Luther maintained without change the historic Christian affirmation that Mary was the Mother of God:
"She is rightly called not only the mother of the man, but also the Mother of God ... It is certain that Mary is the Mother of the real and true God."1
Perpetual Virginity
Again throughout his life Luther held that Mary's perpetual virginity was an article of faith for all Christians - and interpreted Galatians 4:4 to mean that Christ was "born of a woman" alone.
"It is an article of faith that Mary is Mother of the Lord and still a Virgin."2
The Immaculate Conception
Yet again the Immaculate Conception was a doctrine Luther defended to his death (as confirmed by Lutheran scholars like Arthur Piepkorn). Like Augustine, Luther saw an unbreakable link between Mary's divine maternity, perpetual virginity and Immaculate Conception. Although his formulation of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception was not clear-cut, he held that her soul was devoid of sin from the beginning:
"But the other conception, namely the infusion of the soul, it is piously and suitably believed, was without any sin, so that while the soul was being infused, she would at the same time be cleansed from original sin and adorned with the gifts of God to receive the holy soul thus infused. And thus, in the very moment in which she began to live, she was without all sin..."3
Assumption
Although he did not make it an article of faith, Luther said of the doctrine of the Assumption:
"There can be no doubt that the Virgin Mary is in heaven. How it happened we do not know."4
Honor to Mary
Despite his unremitting criticism of the traditional doctrines of Marian mediation and intercession, to the end Luther continued to proclaim that Mary should be honored. He made it a point to preach on her feast days.
"The veneration of Mary is inscribed in the very depths of the human heart."5
"Is Christ only to be adored? Or is the holy Mother of God rather not to be honoured? This is the woman who crushed the Serpent's head. Hear us. For your Son denies you nothing."6 Luther made this statement in his last sermon at Wittenberg in January 1546.
John Calvin:
"Elizabeth called Mary Mother of the Lord, because the unity of the person in the two natures of Christ was such that she could have said that the mortal man engendered in the womb of Mary was at the same time the eternal God."7
"Helvidius has shown himself too ignorant, in saying that Mary had several sons, because mention is made in some passages of the brothers of Christ."8 Calvin translated "brothers" in this context to mean cousins or relatives.
"It cannot be denied that God in choosing and destining Mary to be the Mother of his Son, granted her the highest honor."9
"To this day we cannot enjoy the blessing brought to us in Christ without thinking at the same time of that which God gave as adornment and honour to Mary, in willing her to be the mother of his only-begotten Son."10
And so the list goes on........................
*"Jesus never said he was the pope, but Jesus is the Head of the Church."* -- Mark 3:16; John 1:42 - Jesus renames Simon “Kepha” in Aramaic which literally means “rock.” *When God changes a person’s name, He changes their status.*
Luke 12:41-42 - when Peter asks Jesus if the parable of the master and the kingdom was meant just for the apostles or for all people, Jesus rhetorically confirms to Peter that Peter is the chief steward over the Master’s household of God. “Who then, (Peter) is that faithful and wise steward whom his master will make ruler over His household..?”
*"Jesus is the Head of the Church."* -- Eph. 2:20, the apostles are called the foundation of the Church.
@@MesserTAMU I think you'll like Rome Sweet Home if you read it. It's the story of a Presbyterian pastor coming to understand the Catholic Faith. It's very well done and answered all my questions...Including questions I should of had, but hadn't thought of ;)
Where in the bible did Mary ascend into heaven?
In the bible you will find that Jesus says not to argue over tradition. God would not want his Holy tabernacle His mother to decay in the earth, would anyone want that of our earthly mothers. God will restore. Don't worry be happy!
@@jefffresh1745 point 2 from Mark 7:6-9
6 And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
7 ‘But in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’
8 Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
9 He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.
Where does the Bible say everything has to be in the Bible?
Paul Miller sola ecclesia
@@Wgaither1 Well, not sure I would agree with sola anything as a blanket statement, but I do agree the Church is the pillar of truth, as it says in Sacred Scripture.
Why does the church persist in things not in the Bible? Don't you think Mary's assumption would have been covered and only Jesus was born without sin. I love everything about the church except that and of course the scandals.
Than where is Mary's Tomb? All the early Christians venerated the place where the Saint died.
i have a frnd who was a Catholic but who is now "saved" and says that scripture doesn't support devotion to Mother Mary. According to her Assumption of Mother Mary to heaven is absolute hogwash, since her tomb is there in Israel where she was buried. And apparently my frnd herself saw this tomb on her visit to the Holy Land. I don't know wat to tell her because she throws bible verses at me to substantiate her point of view.
She says she is having an extremely close relationship with Jesus now . Pls help me
Anita Bobby how can she be close to Jesus without receiving Him in Holy Eucharist. He sounds like he joined the religion of, “if it makes me feel good it doesn’t matter what Jesus instructed” religion. You know; Protestant 😢😢😢
Doesn’t support Mary? Were you devoted to your Mother? It’s the same thing. Also, the Ángel Gabriel said, “Hail Mary, full of grace”. Why would she be full of grace if she were unworthy of our love and devotion? Devotion is NOT praise. Praise belongs to God only. Biblical- The Magnificat: “All generations shall call me BLESSED.” Wow. Powerful. Why would she say that? She desires our devotion as she desires to be called Blessed. And the Angel said, Hail Mary! Full of GRACE. ITS BIBLICAL. Why would God’s Ángel Gabriel tell her she was “full of grace” if Mary could not use that grace to assist others? You don’t possess gifts with the assumption of not sharing those gifts with others, right?
Tell your friend she is following Satan. Not Our Lord.
You want me to believe in a mystery?
richard lawlor sure some is a mystery but most is historically proven fact, like most of the Bible!
Catholics use faith AND reason.
Considering that the Assumption is never mentioned in the New Testament, never brought up in the epistles, Revelations, and it was only observed over a thousand of years later, the church needs to reconsider its dogma.
Where does the Bible talk about Purgatory? Where in the Bible does it say to pray to Mary? Where in the Bible does it say to pray to Saints?
Good questions, but where in the Bible does it say that everything Christians believe has to be explicitly laid out in the Bible?

The only way to heaven is through Jesus dont idolize Mary...dont not be deceived!!
Stop saying Catholics idolize Mary, it's a myth. Protestants see high reverence for the mother of God and call it idolatry. Sorry to say, but "honor to whom honor is due." Kings, queens, especially the queen in Jesus' Kingom.
Don’t worry, we can never live Mary more than her beloved Son, Jesus. But I can try💯🎉🎁✝️🕊💕
