…Yes, Mary’s kingdom is vast, and it includes all of God’s children. That means you and me. She is our Mother, but also our Queen, and as our Queen, we should allow her to reign over our hearts, our work, and our lives…

…On this Feast of the Queenship of Mary (Celebrated August 22nd), perhaps we can re-crown Mary as our heavenly Queen, offering her the honor she deserves and recommitting ourselves to her as her royal subjects. Is there a church or Marian shrine near you? Why not stop in for a quick visit and greet your Queen? Make up a private crowning prayer and symbolically place the golden crown upon Mary’s holy head. You can even do this in the shrine of your heart. Jesus dwells there, and wherever he is, Mary is.

In return, Mary will give you gifts in abundance because it is her special day, and because you are special to her. You are not only her royal subject, but also you are her royal child and she cherishes you as such.

The gifts you receive may not be what you expect, but they will be exactly the ones God wants you to have, through Mary’s royal hands.
