It's from Luke 11:27-28. I found it humorous that the Church gives us these 2 verses on the day we celebrate the Assumption of Mary, body and soul, into Heaven. Then again, even Mary always says it's not about her.
She's all too happy to receive our prayers and songs, because it magnifies Him. Notice how the Lord speaks to the woman who calls out; Mary is nothing; Christ is everything. Like us, everything she has, she received. When God makes a promise, it's done. One day, our souls will be reunited with our bodies in the resurrection. The greatest victory we can have is total triumph over death. And Mary's triumph is a further pledge of our triumph in Him.
Hard to argue with that.
