+ Today we celebrate the feast of the Queenship of Mary – formerly celebrated on May 31. It is the octave day of the feast of the Assumption of Mary and is held to be an important part in the complete story of Mary's life on earth. As her life here at one point could contain her no longer – and as a reward for her faithful and loving service to God as Mother of His Son – Mary was assumed into heaven, body and soul, when God deigned that her life here was finished; and now she is crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth as she take her place beside her Son who reigns now as King of the Universe! When we complete our service on earth – if we have done it consciously and with love and dedication to Jesus – we too shall live with them both and with the Father and the Spirit, and all the angels and saints. It will be wonderful and we will rejoice with inexpressible joy forever!
Our God raises up the lowly from the dust, to seat them with princes, the princes of his own people! Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you, now and forever!
