From Mary we learn to surrender to God's Will in all things. From Mary we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone. From Mary we learn to love Christ her Son and the Son of God! ~Pope St. John Paul II

Why Is Mary Crying? Jack Chick’s Gospel Tract About the Virgin Mary Exposed! - cathoolic.com | The number one Catholic fact-checking website fighting misinformation, urban legends, folklore, myths, and rumors.
Tract: Why Is Mary Crying?
Claim: Devotion to Mary doesn’t please her. It breaks her heart.
The Big Question: Is that true? Lets find out.
Above is a nice example of appeal to emotion. Its interesting what Jack Chick wants to achieve by appealing to the emotions of his readers using such words as Poor Mary. Her heart is broken Really?
Well, the faithful are doing what Mary herself prophesied in the Bible concerning how generations to come would honor her. See for example:
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. (Luke 1:48 KJV emphasis mine)
The question one should sincerely ask himself/herself, Am I also part of the generation that call Mary blessed as she said in the Scriptures? Think about this …cathoolic.com
I appreciate your comment on this a lot. Jack Chick has caused more harm to many minds with his supposed Gospel tracts. I first encountered his tracts in the late 90s when I wanted a FREE Bible and had to apply to a Bible Course that adds his anti-Catholic tracts as part of the course materials. Many people still hold his comics as truth and it is quite unfortunate. It is my hope that with the help of God I can be able to refute some of his allegations.

In What Year Was Mary Assumed into Heaven?
The Date of the Assumption
There is no record of the exact day or year in which our Lady was assumed. This should not bother us too much. After all, we are not sure of the day and year of Christ's birth, baptism, or death and resurrection.
However, we can get close. Let's look a few clues pertaining to the life and death of Mary.
Why is there little mention of Mary in Acts or the Epistles? I believe that the New Testament speaks of the mysteries of the faith in clouded language on account of the fierce persecution that Christians received from both the Jews and the Romans.
The tradition is almost universal that her death and resurrection occurred in Jerusalem. An alternate version has arisen from the visions of Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich that her death, funeral, and assumption occurred in Ephesus.
Interestingly enough, Emmerich places the date of the assumption at A.D. 43 or 44. One argument against dating the Assumption to the AD 40s is that …
Nice piece on Our Blessed Mother's assumption. Do check out Miraculous Photos of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Pax in Christo.
