"Hence the revered Mother
of God, from all eternity joined in a hidden way with
Jesus Christ in one and the same decree of predestination,
immaculate in her conception, a most perfect virgin
in her divine motherhood, the noble associate of the
divine Redeemer who has won a complete triumph over
sin and its consequences, finally obtained, as the
supreme culmination of her privileges, that she should
be preserved free from the corruption of the tomb
and that, like her own Son, having overcome death,
she might be taken up body and soul to the glory of
heaven where, as Queen, she sits in splendor at the
right hand of her Son, the immortal King of the Ages."
