Promise

If Mary is seen as a representative of the entire Church; and her death the model of a faithful, final act of self-surrender into the hands of her Redeemer; then her reunion with Christ, her Son and Lord, in both body and soul are a prefiguration. They are a promise of the joy with which we shall all be crowned when God gathers all things to himself, and Christ is “all in all.”
