Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Memorial
Extraordinary Form: Solemnity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
LITURGICAL NOTES: After the blessed feast of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, Ven. Paul VI revised the Calendar and put instead after the Assumption, the Queenship of Mary.
"And all generations will call me blessed..." That's why we Catholics have great respect to the Blessed Virgin Mary: She is part of the saving work of God, bringing forth the Son of God by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit; She remained Virgin forever and a symbol of purity and humility and obedience; and because God exalted her, she made her queen of heaven. For the angel tells her that her Son will be King over the house of Jacob forever. As described in the Psalms, "The queen stands by your side, arrayed in gold..."
O Queen of Heaven, pray for us to God.
