Aug. 22, 2019: Queenship of Mary
“Give yourself up into the arms of your Heavenly Mother. She will take good care of your soul...In my greatest sufferings, it seems to me that I no longer have a mother on this earth, but a very compassionate one in Heaven.” - Padre Pio
A week after the celebration of the Assumption of Blessed Mother into Heaven, today we celebrate her coronation as Queen of Heaven and earth. On this feast day, we lift our anxieties, sorrows, and hardships up to our Heavenly Mother who knows our needs and our sufferings.
"Turning her maternal Heart toward us and dealing with the affair of our salvation, she is concerned with the whole human race. Constituted by the Lord Queen of Heaven and earth, and exalted above all choirs of Angels and the ranks of Saints in Heaven, standing at the right hand of Her only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, she petitions most powerfully with Her maternal prayers, and she obtains what she seeks." (Pope Pius IX)
So today we entrust ourselves to our Mother of Mercy who is Queen of Heaven and earth:
An Act of Consecration to Mary Our Mother and Queen
O Mary Immaculate Queen, glorious Queen of the Universe, most powerful Virgin, merciful Mother of a merciful God and refuge of sinners, we consecrate ourselves to your Royal and Immaculate Heart.
It is through you that Jesus Christ our King has come into the world to save it. It is also through you that He is to reign over the world.
In order to obtain this great benefit for ourselves and all mankind, we come to your feet to consecrate to you our persons, our lives, all that we are, all that we have, all that we love. Keep us, enlighten us, dispose of us, reign over us.
May all hearts and all homes willingly proclaim you as their Immaculate Queen.
