The Assumption of Mary is a prefiguration of the Resurrection of the Dead and thus the Assumption of all of us.

No that is not true...Christ's Resurrection from the dead is. He has the power over death and that power was never given to Mary.... Further by stating that Mary is you have usurped Christ in every way.

You misunderstood what I wrote. The assumption of Mary is a prefiguration of the glory that all will share in heaven by virture of Christ Passion, Death and Resurrection. Mary has already received her reward for being faithful to God. So all who die in Christ will experience the Resurrection of the Dead. Again, Mary was “assumed into heaven” by God’s Power and thus is the model of what God’s Grace does to humanity, it makes us Holy and thus able to see God face to face in heaven.

I have not usurped Christ, it is your misunderstanding that makes you “think that I have” but I have not. Again, Mary’s Assumption was done by the Power of God and just as she was Assumed into heaven, all who die in CHrist will be “Assumed into heaven” when they experience the Resurrection of the Dead, which also is a result of Christ paschal mystery and thus by the power of God.
