Queenship of Mary - May 31st

Greetings in Jesus and Mary:

​Today is the Feast of the Queenship of Mary.

Mary is the greatest masterpiece of God!  Her Son Jesus Christ crowned Her in Heaven and exalted Her virtues for all to see. Mary is Mother of Christ the King and stood beside Him at the crucifixion – participating in a spiritual way all that was endured by Christ for our Redemption. Even though she is crowned in Heaven as she deserves – she still remains at work in Her children on Earth. What a great consolation it is for us to know that she is both Mother and Queen to us all. Even from her throne covered with glory, she always has her glance fixed on Earth - especially upon those consecrated to her. May we consecrate ourselves and our loved ones each day to her so that she may watch over us and guide us to Her Son Jesus.

We must place ourselves under Her Mantle for protection from a cold and dreary world.  Let us make a resolution to always unite ourselves to Mary. Her glory does not separate her from us because she is always our sweetest Mother. In the seventeenth century, St. Louis Mary de Montfort speaks often of Mary as Queen and Mother. St Therese of the Child Jesus stated, “Mary is more Mother than Queen”. Pope Leo XIII frequently called her “Queen of the Universe”. Pope Pius X taught: “Christ stands at the right hand of the Majesty on high… Mary as Queen stands at His right hand.”

The Church proclaims Her as Our Lady, as Queen of angels and saints, of patriarchs and prophets, of apostles and martyrs, of confessors and virgins, and proclaims her the Glorious Queen of Heaven and Earth. Holy Mother Church calls upon us to implore Mary’s aid day and night, in sighing and weeping which is what we experience in this our exile on Earth. Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope is the cry we make each day in our Rosaries.

Let us honor Our Queen and Mother today and place ourselves in Her motherly arms for protection. Let us beg Her for the graces to love Her Son with all our hearts, mind and souls. Let us thank the eternal Father for so great a gift as Our Queen and Mother! Our Lady expressed to Mother Mary of Agreda in the "City of God" that to always thank the Father for all that He has given to us through her intercession is the most pleasing prayer she wants from all of us.
​
Thank you eternal Father for the gift of our good Queen and Mother and for the supreme gift of Your Son Jesus Christ, Who came and died for our sins!

We adore You - Oh Most Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Ghost!

Holy Mother Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death so that we may live with You for all eternity giving praise to the Most Holy Trinity!
