Did Mary truly die before her Assumption, or was her passage into Heaven unlike ordinary human death?

Death or sleep? Body and soul? St. John’s witnessed the event. Valtorta's vision fully supports Catholic dogma of Assumption.

In The Gospel as Revealed to Me, the final chapters present in detail Mary’s “blissful passage”, the witness of Saint John, and the holy moment in which Our Lady is taken into heaven. Saint John is shown as the one who remains with Mary and witnesses this mysterious event, making the scene especially relevant to the Catholic dogma of the Assumption. Many Catholics still wonder whether Mary died like other human beings, merely slept, or passed into Heaven in a unique and glorious way. The Maria Valtorta Studies chatbot can help you explore these chapters in detail and compare the scene with the Catholic belief that Mary was taken body and soul into Heaven.
