When the hour came, he took his place at table with the apostles. He said to them, I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, for, I tell you, I shall not eat it (again) until there is fulfillment in the kingdom of God. Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, Take this and share it among yourselves; for I tell you (that) from this time on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me. And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you. -The 5th Luminous Mystery

Blessed Mother's death

Blessed Mother's death
Question from Tim on 8/14/2008:

How did the Virgin Mary die? I always thought she was raised into heaven before death.
Answer by Catholic Answers on 8/14/2008:

Tim--

We don't know how the Virgin Mary died or if she did indeed die. The Church is silent on the matter. All that we know is that, when her earthly life was over, she was raised into heaven and glorified, body and soul. That is the dogma of the Assumption, which the Church will celebrate tomorrow on August 15.
