Mary's Queenship

Pope Pius XII instated the Memorial of The Queenship of Mary during the Marian Year of 1954, and as Marists. though it is not a major feast, it is the occasion for us the celebrate again the place of Mary in our lives.  As Mother of Christ the King, she not only deserves the tile of Queen, but also works side by side with him for the building of the Kingdom and the salvation of souls, as evidenced by her place in the early Church and in her dozens of apparitions since her Assumption into heaven.  Indeed, every time we pray the Glorious Mysteries of the rosary, we reflect on her as Queen of Heaven and earth.  May we, as her disciples and disciples of Jesus, reflect her virtues of compassion and tenderness as we too work for the establishment of he Kingdom of God.  Let us recall her love and presence as we go about our Monday labors and those of the rest of the week.  Mary, our Queen and the Queen of Peace, help us to be instruments of peace and justice and witnesses of God's tenderness.
