Dear Family of Mary!

On Saturday, August 22, we celebrate the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary! In preparation, I will present to you a reflection for the next four days on the Queenship of Our Lady! In her messages from Medjugorje Our Lady has told us that she is the Queen of Peace! Here is one such message:

April 2, 2012 Message:

“Dear children, As the Queen of Peace, I desire to give peace to you, my children, true peace which comes through the heart of my Divine Son.

As a mother I pray that wisdom, humility and goodness may come to reign in your hearts; that peace may reign; that my Son may reign.

When my Son will be the ruler in your hearts, you will be able to help others to come to know Him.

When heavenly peace comes to rule over you, those who are seeking it in the wrong places, thus causing pain to my motherly heart, will recognize it.

My children, great will be my joy when I see that you are accepting my words and that you desire to follow me.

Do not be afraid, you are not alone.

Give me your hands and I will lead you.

Do not forget your shepherds. Pray that in their thoughts they may always be with my Son who called them to witness Him. Thank you.”

With such a Queen, we are the happiest of subjects! She gives us her hands and leads us into the Kingdom of her Son, which is heaven!! Let’s sing to her today! And let’s really meditate upon this reality, that Our Lady is our Queen of Peace!

Hail, Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee to we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.|
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray. Almighty and everlasting God, Who by the working of the Holy Spirit didst prepare both body and soul of the glorious Virgin Mother, Mary, that she might deserve to be made a worthy dwelling for Thy Son, grant that we who rejoice in her memory, may, by her loving intercession, be delivered from present evils and from lasting death, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
