A week after the Solemnity of the Assumption, we celebrate the Memorial of the Queenship of Mary today. More than a sentimental title, it connotes the "warrior" tradition of Jewish queens, some of whom reigned as Regents for their infant sons, allof whom had some influence, for good or for bad on their future kings. With Mary, we see that all is positive. She is Queen because Jesus is King. not vice-versa. Her role as Queen Mother is to insure as best she can the purpose and future of the Kingdom of her Son. As she brought him into this world and remained by his side, even unto his death, she remains now at the side of her Resurrected Son and Lord, and continues to aid by her prayers and intercession the mission he came to establish. Her role is fidelity, humility and compassion, as it was when she walked this earth. She is an example, and exemplar of our roles as disciples of Jesus. May we continue to find inspiration and help with our "impossible" cases from the Queen of Heaven, the Queen of Mercy and of Peace.
