Today in the Western Church we celebrate the Bodily Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is our Queen who stands at the right hand of her Son the King and intercedes constantly for us. She is an example of what will happen to all of us as we will get our bodies back when Christ returns. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ king of endless glory!
Early Fathers of the Church and later saints in the history of the Church like St. Gregory the wonder worker, St. Jerome, St. Hesychius, and St. Anthony of Padua all saw the Assumption of Mary in this Prophetic Psalm.
"Arise, O LORD, and go to thy resting place,
thou and the ark of thy might".(psalm 132:8)
St. Hesychius (lived c. 300)
Arise, Lord, into Thy rest, Thou and the Ark of Thy sanctification, which is very evidently the Virgin Mother of God. For if thou are the pearl, with good reason is she the Ark” (Serm. V. De S. Maria Deip. Patr. Gr. Tom. 93, pp. 460-4) (Blessed Virgin, p. 227).
Blessed be God in his angels and saints.
