For me the Assumption points up the Resurrection and most poignantly the evil of death, when body and soul are torn apart, and the longing of the saints in heaven for reunion with the flesh, when they shall be made whole. There seems to be at work today a facile platonism, which treats the body as a shell, something to be got ride of. It could be that the pain of leaving it is greater than any bodily torments we suffer.
A wonderful observation. Yet another aspect of the Assumption I had never thought of before. Thanks.
