Friends of the Rosary,

Today, August 22, is the feast of the Queenship of Mary, a title associated with her co-rendemptive work, a heart flamed with motherlove, and the role of Mediatrix of all graces.

In 1954, Pius XII, by an encyclical letter, instituted the Memorial of the Queenship of Mary.

And today, Pope Leo XIV called for a day of prayer and fasting for peace. “Mary is the Mother of believers here on earth, and is also invoked as Queen of Peace, while our earth continues to be wounded by wars in the Holy Land, in Ukraine, and many other regions of the world,” he said.

Mary is our Queen because she is the Mother of Jesus, the King of kings.

Saint Maximilian Kolbe wrote that “through Mary, our hearts would be cleansed and themselves become immaculate, worthy of union with God.”

The Queenship of Mary shows us that being united to Jesus gives us a royal citizenship, participation in a heavenly court.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
