Where will Mary be When Christ Comes Again?

Mary is Exhibit A of Athanasius’s summary of salvation: “God became Man so that (wo)man might become God.”

Thanks to the deserved influence of Fleming Rutledge and her Advent preaching, believers are now more aware than before that the new liturgical year begins with anticipation of the End. Advent is the season of the second coming. If the mainline church has had little room in its proclamation for the parousia, we have reflected even less upon what the return of the Son means for his mother.

When Jesus comes again in glory to judge the quick and the dead, does Mary come with him?
