Bless you for your effort. It is greatly appreciated.

We should help each other and more importantly we should put on our ‘armor’ of Truth.

If I run into anymore information that might be helpful I’ll come back to this discussion. God be with you!

For the Crowning the Woman from Revelation is the obvious citation. Psalm 45 has also been read as describing the woman who is the Daughter, Spouse and Mother of the Triune God.

For the Assumption one passage that has always seemed to me to be connected is I Cor. 15:51, which is of course the beginning of Paul’s wonderful discourse on the Resurrection of the Body - “BEHOLD I tell you a Mystery - we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.”

I think that St. Paul is writing this at least in part as a result of Mary’s Assumption - that either he himself or, more likely, St. Luke had witnessed that event and found in it the evidence for the promise that “we shall be raised incorruptible.” (Note that this could actually be read as being in conflict with Jesus’ remarks on the resurrection “you misunderstand - they will be like the angels”)

This is just what I was going to say!!
The Assumption & the Coronation of Mary are a picture of what all who are to be saved will one day experience: a total change into someone worthy of the Presence of God.
Mary was:thumbsup: all ready to enter Heaven; the rest of us are still striving for it.

In regards to the Assumption, I particularly like Psalm 132:8, cited by Pope Pius XII in paragraph 26 of his Munificentissimus Deus:

1. Often there are theologians and preachers who, following in the footsteps of the holy Fathers,(20) have been rather free in their use of events and expressions taken from Sacred Scripture to explain their belief in the Assumption. Thus, to mention only a few of the texts rather frequently cited in this fashion, some have employed the words of the psalmist:** “Arise, O Lord, into your resting place: you and the ark,** which you have sanctified”(21); and have looked upon the Ark of the Covenant, built of incorruptible wood and placed in the Lord’s temple, as a type of the most pure body of the Virgin Mary, preserved and exempt from all the corruption of the tomb and raised up to such glory in heaven. Treating of this subject, they also describe her as the Queen entering triumphantly into the royal halls of heaven and sitting at the right hand of the divine Redeemer.(22) Likewise they mention the Spouse of the Canticles “that goes up by the desert, as a pillar of smoke of aromatical spices, of myrrh and frankincense” to be crowned.(23) These are proposed as depicting that heavenly Queen and heavenly Spouse who has been lifted up to the courts of heaven with the divine Bridegroom.
2. Moreover, the scholastic Doctors have recognized the Assumption of the Virgin Mother of God as something signified, not only in various figures of the Old Testament, but also in that woman clothed with the sun whom John the Apostle contemplated on the Island of Patmos.(24) Similarly they have given special attention to these words of the New Testament: “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women,”(25) since they saw, in the mystery of the Assumption, the fulfillment of that most perfect grace granted to the Blessed Virgin and the special blessing that countered the curse of Eve.
