"With one stroke of an infallible dogmatic pen, the Church lifts the sacredness of love out of sex without denying the role of the body in love.  Here is one body that reflects in its uncounted hues the creative love of God.  To a world that worships the body, the Church now says: ‘There are two bodies in heaven, one the glorified human nature of Jesus, the other the assumed human nature of Mary.  Love is the secret of the Ascension of one and the Assumption of the other, for Love craves unity with its Beloved.  The Son returns to the Father in the unity of Divine Nature; and Mary returns to Jesus in the unity of human nature.  Her nuptial flight is the event to which our whole generation moves." Archbishop Fulton Sheen
