Today we celebrate the memorial of the Queenship of
Mary. This memorial has its roots in
Scripture for at the Annunciation, the angel Gabriel announced that Mary’s Son
would receive David’s throne and rule forever.
At her visitation to her cousin Elizabeth, Mary is called the “mother of
my Lord.” Her queenship is closely
aligned to Jesus’ kingship.
Throughout history we have all sung songs in honor of
Mary. We have sung: Hail Holy Queen, Lady of Knock, the Ave Maria
and the Salve Regina, as well as many others.
Each of these hymns point to Mary’s place of honor in our lives. Mary is the Mother of Jesus and is to be
revered that way. She is our advocate
with Jesus in a very real way. Mary has
been called our Mediatrix with Jesus assuring us that she is always there for
us. May we take time today to spend some
time with Mary, our Mother, who has always promised to be with us.
