Heaven
Assumption of Mary
Banner

A woman clothed with the sun: Celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary with this classic banner. In 1950, Pope Pious XII defined the Church’s teaching on Mary’s Assumption into Heaven. We are reminded that  God exalts those who choose His will over their own desires, and that Mary chose this most perfectly.

In the light of the Assumption of Mary, it is easy to pray her Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55) with new meaning. In her glory she proclaims the greatness of the Lord and finds joy in God her savior. God has done marvels to her and she leads others to recognize God’s holiness. She is the lowly handmaid who deeply reverenced her God and has been raised to the heights. From her position of strength she will help the lowly and the poor find justice on earth, and she will challenge the rich and powerful to distrust wealth and power as a source of happiness.

Celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary with this beautiful banner.
