Assumption

“Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory. She was exalted by the Lord as Queen of all things, so that she might be more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death.” -Pius XII, Munificentissimus Deus (1950)

This section is where the first burials started when the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Gate of Heaven Cemetery opened in 1947.

Father in heaven,
all creation rightly gives you praise,
for all life and all holiness come from you.
In the plan of your wisdom
she who bore the Christ in her womb
was raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven.
May we follow her example in reflecting your holiness
and join in her hymn of endless love and praise.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
