Daily Reflections | Feast of the Assumption - Contemplate Mary’s Assumption
The Bible and the Virgin Mary: Episode 11: The Assumption - This session is packed with all kinds of great material. We're going to examine the dogma of the Assumption of Mary, as well as the many facets of the identity of the woman in the Apostle John's vision in Revelation 12. We'll also learn how John's vision in Revelation is the dramatic fulfillment of the promise God made back in the Garden of Eden: the "first gospel.".
A Bible Study on the Glorious Mysteries: Assumption - Have you ever wanted to grow in your understanding and devotion to the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary?
