If death is the separation of soul and body, then it wouldn't really make sense for Mary's soul to leave her body, go to Heaven, and then come back in a second to go back into her body so that she can get assumed, body and soul, into Heaven.<br /><br />But who knows? I guess Jesus' soul left his body for a while, too... wait is that right??? Sister, did Jesus go into Sheol with his body with him, or was it just his soul down there?<br /><br />ummmmm thanksMattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-67808595511228545532010-12-14T13:06:21.636-08:002010-12-14T13:06:21.636-08:00I love the way you explain these things with such ...I love the way you explain these things with such a sense of humor, and I'm learning about the Catholic Church while I'm laughing.Donna.

She was the best of all women. If anyone deserved it, she did. 2.)
