This Holy Card and quote are from today's post at He Gently Calls Us. Please visit her blog to see the whole post:
"... it seems impossible to think of her, the one who conceived Christ, brought him forth, nursed him with her milk, held him in her arms, and clasped him to her breast, as being apart from him in body, even though not in soul, after this earthly life. Since our Redeemer is the Son of Mary, he could not do otherwise, as the perfect observer of God's law, than to honor, not only his eternal Father, but also his most beloved Mother. And, since it was within his power to grant her this great honor, to preserve her from the corruption of the tomb, we must believe that he really acted in this way."
~~~From Munificentissimus Deus, defining the dogma of the Assumption, November 1, 1950, Pius XII
