The Assumption of Mary was declared dogma by the Church in 1950 by Pope Pius XII, but Catholics had believed it for many centuries, even millennia, before then. In the early centuries of the Church, they called it the Dormition of Mary, but around 700 AD they began to call it The Assumpion. Mary was drawn up into Heaven, body and soul.
Not long after he Assumption was declared dogma, Pope Paul VI wrote the prayer we have on the back. We've condesned it a little to it could fit. It's a lovely prayer about being closer to Mary, and good for anyone who wishes that.
Thank you for your interest.

O Immaculate Mary,
Assumed into heaven, you who are
most blessed in the vision of God:
O Mary, most pure,
O Mary, strong and thoughtful woman,
O Mary, poor and sorrowful,
O Mary, gate of heaven,
mirror of divine light,
ark of the Covenant between
God and mankind,
let our souls fly after you!
O merciful Mother, guide us
along your ways of purity and hope
till the day of that blessed meeting
with you and with your divine Son
our Savior, Jesus. Amen!
The Church has celebrated the Assumption of Mary since the 400s AD. front by Guido Reni, 1642
