Homily from the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary God had no backup plan after Mary. The Assumption of Mary is the reality that Our Lady was taken up entirely into Heaven.  This is, in some ways, the fulfillment of her entire life.  Since she belonged totally to God, she was brought totally to God.
