The Queenship of Mary: Mary's Role in Our Salvation and Peace Today's Homily celebrates the octave of the Feast of the Assumption and . . . . . . the 50th anniversary of the Shrine, reflecting on Mary as Queen of Heaven, Earth, Peace, and All Hearts. Her queenship is not merely an honorific but a real authority rooted in her “yes” to God at the Annunciation, when she freely accepted to bear Christ, changing the universe forever. Her dignity, beauty, and authority exist not for herself but for our salvation, showing her humility as the “handmaid of the Lord.” Mary's queenship continues in her intercession, especially as Queen of Peace, and Queen of All Hearts, bringing grace to human hearts scarred by violence. The faithful are encouraged to entrust themselves to her through acts of consecration, imitating her faith and service so that Christ may be more fully received in their lives and in the world. At the end of the Homily members who have been preparing for the Act of Total Consecration were invited to the altar for a special prayer. Hear more within this Meditation Media.

Gospel Matthew 22:34-40 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law, tested him by asking, "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.” Reflection It's so important that Jesus puts these two commandments in a particular order. What he's really saying is, there is no way for us to be who we are called to be loving, caring for our neighbor without first understanding the love that God has for us. In our openness to God what we have to get past is that need that we think we have been told to do, and that's to earn his love. We don't earn it, we just have to allow it to enter into us, and only then are we able to follow the second commandment. The two are most essential, but the first is the most important. Closing Prayer Father, we need to spend time with you. We need a time to just be still and open our hearts and minds to this love that you have for us. We know that you long to awaken us. A sense of it, a feeling about it. So bless us in our time of reflection and meditation. We will truly see you, feel you, know you. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary Lectionary: 423The Saint of the day is Queenship of the Blessed Virgin MaryThe Story of the Queenship of Mary Pope Pius XII established this feast in 1954. But the Blessed Virgin Mary's queenship has roots in Scripture. At the Annunciation, Gabriel announced that Mary's Son would receive the throne of David and rule forever. At the Visitation, Elizabeth calls Mary “mother of my Lord.” As in all the mysteries of Mary's life, she is closely associated with Jesus: Her queenship is a share in Jesus' kingship. We can also recall that in the Old Testament the mother of the king has great influence in court. In the fourth century Saint Ephrem called Mary “Lady” and “Queen.” Later Church fathers and doctors continued to use the title. Hymns of the 11th to 13th centuries address Mary as queen: “Hail, Holy Queen,” “Hail, Queen of Heaven,” “Queen of Heaven.” The Dominican rosary and the Franciscan crown as well as numerous invocations in Mary's litany celebrate her queenship. The feast is a logical follow-up to the Assumption, and is now celebrated on the octave day of that feast. In his 1954 encyclical To the Queen of Heaven, Pius XII points out that Mary deserves the title because she is Mother of God, because she is closely associated as the New Eve with Jesus' redemptive work, because of her preeminent perfection, and because of her intercessory power. Reflection As Saint Paul suggests in Romans 8:28–30, God has predestined human beings from all eternity to share the image of his Son. All the more was Mary predestined to be the mother of Jesus. As Jesus was to be king of all creation, Mary, in dependence on Jesus, was to be queen. All other titles to queenship derive from this eternal intention of God. As Jesus exercised his kingship on earth by serving his Father and his fellow human beings, so did Mary exercise her queenship. As the glorified Jesus remains with us as our king till the end of time (Matthew 28:20), so does Mary, who was assumed into heaven and crowned queen of heaven and earth.

The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Memorial)

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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Image via Riccardo De Luca - Update / Shutterstock. Here’s a beautiful invitation from The Patrick Madrid Show that every Catholic should hear: Pope Leo XIV is asking us to fast and pray for peace this August 22nd, the Feast of the Queenship of Mary. At his general audience, the Holy Father turned his heart, and ours, toward the many conflict zones around the world... especially in Ukraine and the Holy Land. His message is clear: Mary, our Queen of Peace, is with us in the fight for true peace, and she’s inviting us to join her through prayer and fasting. So why August 22nd? Mary is honored as Queen of Heaven, and she’s reigning as our Mother; she's standing with us in every struggle. Patrick explains how this connects directly to Revelation 12, where the “woman clothed with the sun” is both Mary and a symbol of the Church. This woman gives birth to Christ and then becomes the target of the dragon, who wages war not just on her, but on the rest of her offspring. These are those who follow Jesus and keep His commandments. What the Pope is Asking: Pope Leo’s call isn’t generic. He says: “I ask you... to include in your intentions a supplication for the gift of peace, a peace that is disarmed and disarming, especially for Ukraine and the Middle East.” This is about real peace, the kind that starts in the heart and flows out to the world. What to Do on August 22nd: Here’s how you can respond: -Pray a Rosary (especially for peace) -Fast in whatever way you can: from food, social media, entertainment, etc... -Offer your day for all who are suffering because of war and violence -Invite others to join you: family, friends, your parish group, etc... August 22nd is your chance to join the Church worldwide in a spiritual mission for peace. Mary is Queen, and she’s leading the charge. Will you follow her lead?

Roger Landry also offers a beautiful reflection on the Queenship of Mary as we celebrate the feast day. Catch the show every Saturday at 7amET/5pmET on EWTN radio!

Fr. Daniel Klimek joins Patrick to discuss the Queenship of Mary Father shares his new book about the Rosary (5:58) Why is Mary a queen? How does Marian devotion help us in our lives? (21:14) What is the importance of the crowning of Mary in the mysteries of the Rosary? (27:00) Break 1 (32:13) How can the Queen ship of help if we unite devotion to her with prayer and fasting? (41:26) Mireya - Something I heard from a listener from a few years ago, something I do now...offer 3 Ave Marias. That's how I honor her and my children do this as well.

Dr. Tom Curran encourages listeners to have a Marian attitude and talks about the octave between the Assumption of Mary and the Queenship of Mary. Tom reflects on The Cleansing of a Leper. (Mark 1: 40-45)

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD, his God, Who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them. Praise the Lord, my soul!A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew (Mt 22:34-40, today's readings).When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law, tested him by asking, "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."The scholar who approaches Jesus does not ask out of a genuine desire but seeks to trap Jesus. Matthew tells us that the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, so the scholar goes to Jesus from a place of competitiveness and pride. Jesus answers with the Shema, a Jewish declaration of faith that is recited in the morning and evening. By responding this way, Jesus affirms the covenant between God and the Jewish people and their devotion to him. Jesus adds the commandment to love one's neighbor as oneself, and the two commandments are inseparable. In his genuine response to the scholar's test, Jesus is demonstrating just that: a loving relationship with God and with his neighbor.Father in heaven, let me take to heart today's Gospel. Help me see what Jesus models as he responds to the scholar's insincerity. He doesn't criticize him for attempting to trick him but instead gives him what he asks for and adds even more. As I meet a similar tone in others, give me the grace to respond to them in the same way—sincerely and generously—meeting them where they are and bringing your grace to the interaction. Help me also, Lord, recognize when I am insincere with you and with others. "Teach me your paths, my God, guide me in your truth." Mary, Queen assumed into heaven, pray for us!Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Mt 22:44-30When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,they gathered together, and one of them,a scholar of the law, tested him by asking,"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"He said to him,"You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart,with all your soul, and with all your mind.This is the greatest and the first commandment.The second is like it:You shall love your neighbor as yourself.The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

Matthew 22:34-40

Delivered by Joanna from the Parish of Saint Gabriel in the Diocese of Bandung, Indonesia. Ruth 1: 1.3-6.14b-16.22; Rs psalm 146: 5-6.7.8-9a.9bc-10; Matthew 22: 34-40.TOWARD THE TRHONE OF THE KINGDOM Our meditation today is entitled:Toward the Throne of the Kingdom. Today the whole Church celebrates thequeenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This memorial is one of our devotions tothe Blessed Mother. Part of these devotions is the prayer of the Holy Rosary,especially on the 5th glorious mystery which is: the crowning of ourLady as queen of heaven and earth. This title gives a very particular positionof Our Lady in the reign of Christ as king to rule over all in heaven and onearth. There is neither separation ordivision of power between Jesus and Mary nor among the number of parties whichis common in democratic politics. That power stands only in one King and it isin the hands of Jesus Christ, whose political power founded on God's love.Mary, as the first blessed among men and women, takes part in the power of theKingship of Jesus, then followed by various segment of the believers facing thethrone of this Kingdom. Facing Him on the throne means giving our trust,obedience, respect and following the path that this kingdom has set for. All tribes of Israel always tried toprove their belief to follow the path of this kingdom with all the colors oftheir story of salvation. The leader of the Israeli army made a promise to God,after conquering their enemies, by sacrificing his own child. Doing this, Hemeant that the power of God remained victorious. Mary after being lifted up toheaven, her position remained unchanged, that is to be the queen of theapostles, angels, all the saints and the Church. She continues to guide ourjourney toward the throne of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. The apostles radically chose to followJesus, and they were convinced by Jesus to take parts of His kingdom which were inherited by the tribes of Israel.Each of them became bishop in every local Church entrusted to each, but theyall remain united with the Universal Church with one and universal leadership.The bishops are high priests in their local Churches, bringing and directingall God's people to face one majestic throne, where Jesus Christ is. The Popeoccupies the majestic throne in the world, so it is appropriate that we allfacing to the Pope who is in the Vatican. We face and make our journey to thekingdom through prayer that we pray every day: Your kingdom comes on earth asit is in heaven. The kingdom is made present for us to give us security andcomfort, then to rule us through the Holy Spirit in order that we can live intruth. We are sure to be part of this kingdom, it's because Jesus alwaysinvolves us to take part in it. The kingdom is also like the feast thatinvloves all of us. Those who reject the invitation to take part are the oneswho ignore all the messages, words and wills that come from God. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O God, the almighty Father, may your kingdom truly govern and guideour lives from every day. Hail Mary full of grace ... In the name of the Father...
