When we think of Mary, Mother of Jesus, we usually imagine her as wife and mother, preoccupied with daily household chores or among the crowds watching Jesus teaching and healing. Rarely do we imagine her with crown and queenly robes...but after being taken up into heaven at the end of her earthly days, she has asumbed her role in heaven as the Queen Mother of the King of Kings, "with all the rights and privileges, thereof" (to borrow from graduation talk). Her influence continues in motherly care and her interest in helping Jesus with the work of salvation continues...with that "motherly touch:". We hail and love her as our mother too, but she has been given a queen's power and influence with her Son to give us that "second" or "third"...chance" and many more after that to help us finally "get it right." Mary, continue to pray and intercede for us, who sorely need your motherly and queenly influence with Jesus, our King.
