The Bayeux Tapestry features just three women among 600 male figures. But you can't tell its story without the powerful medieval women who shaped the Norman Conquest. In this second episode of our series, Janina Ramirez and Tracy Borman join Charles Farris to explore the Norman Conquest beyond 'two kings and a duke'. How did women wield power and influence in the early medieval period? Who survived and thrived in the new Norman regime? And why have historians excluded these women from the history books?

Send us Fan MailWe recently had the privilege of witnessing something most Catholics rarely see: two religious sisters making their final vows and giving their lives completely to Jesus.In this episode, we share our experience attending the perpetual profession of two sisters from the Queenship of Mary Community in Ottawa, including a close friend we have known for many years.One moment especially stayed with us. During the ceremony, the bishop asked the sisters:“What do you desire?”Their response challenges all of us to consider the same question: What do I desire most—and am I willing to give everything to Jesus in order to become a saint?We discuss the beauty of religious life, the sacrifices these sisters make, what their vocation asks of their families, and what their witness can teach every Catholic—whether married, single, a priest, or religious—about giving our lives completely to Christ.

Our Daily Scripture Readings and Reflection: On the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we remember that Mary never points to herself. She leads us to Jesus Christ, her Son, our Lord and our Teacher. Frank Pavone reflects on today's Gospel and how honoring Mary ultimately deepens our obedience to Christ. Her life points us toward the One who teaches us the truth about God, ourselves, and the sacredness of every human life.

The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Memorial)
Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 22, is the Memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a feast that follows the solemnity of the Assumption.This celebration reminds us that Mary, the humble handmaid exalted by God, shares in the victory of her Son, the King of Kings.Mary is Queen after she received God's word with a servant's heart, and not because she grasped for status.The main message of the Gospel today (Matthew 23:1–12) is that God's glory dwells with the humble. Jesus warns against pride, religious show, and the pursuit of titles or honor.True greatness is service: “The greatest among you must be your servant.”Ave Maria!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!

+ Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew 23, 1-12: Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses.Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice.They tie up heavy burdens (hard to carry) and lay them on people's shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them.All their works are performed to be seen. They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues, greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation 'Rabbi.'As for you, do not be called 'Rabbi.' You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers.Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven.Do not be called 'Master'; you have but one master, the Messiah.The greatest among you must be your servant.Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Full Text of Readings Memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary Lectionary: 424 The Saint of the day is Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary The Story of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin 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.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
In this homily for the Feast of Saint Pius X, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC reflects on the saint's strong rejection of Modernism and its weakening of objective truth. He explains that Christian love cannot be reduced to simply being nice, avoiding conflict, or affirming everything. True Christian love means willing the good of another person, especially their eternal salvation, and therefore requires us to remain faithful to God's truth even when that truth is difficult or unpopular. Fr. Chris reminds us that truth must always be spoken with mercy, humility, and compassion. Fraternal correction, when motivated by genuine concern for another person's soul rather than judgment or pride, can be a profound act of love. Following the example of Saint Pius X, Christians are called to reject a lack of truth while also rejecting harshness: true love neither sacrifices truth for niceness nor uses truth without mercy, but lovingly guides souls toward conversion, reconciliation with God, and salvation.

Naturalism, the reason for Vatican II, Conciliarism and more on Open Line Friday with Colin Donovan.
Celebrated annually on August 22, the eighth day (the octave) after the Solemnity of the Assumption (August 15), the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary is an official liturgical feast day linking Mary's bodily assumption into heaven with her coronation as queen. Established in 1954 by Pope Pius XII, the day honors Mary as the Mother of Jesus, designated by Christians as the King of Kings, and recognizes her unique role and spiritual intercession in heaven and earth. Chapter 12 from the Book of Revelation describes a "woman clothed with the sun" who gives birth to a male child, which some Christian interpreters view as a symbolic representation of Mary crowned in heavenly glory, thereby providing biblical foundation and support for the Queenship of Mary.

This homily is a heartfelt reflection celebrating the Queenship of Mary while intertwining the speaker's personal memories of his mother's passing. The narrator explains that Mary holds a sovereign position in heaven because, in Jewish tradition, the king's mother is the most honored figure in the kingdom. By highlighting Mary's role as the Mother of God, the text encourages believers to view her as the surest shortcut to reaching Jesus Christ. The reflection shares an intimate account of his mother's final moments with breast cancer, drawing parallels between their maternal bond and the playful, loving relationship shared by Mary and her son. Ultimately, the discourse invites listeners to celebrate this spiritual queenship and seek closer intimacy with the divine through her guidance.
La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Vivian from the Parish of Saint Thomas the Apostle in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Ezekiel 43: 1-7a; Rs psalm 85: 9ab-10.11-12.13-14; Matthew 23: 1-12.FACING THE THRONE OF THE KINGDOM Our meditation today has the theme: Facing the Thronethe Kingdom. Today the whole Church celebrates the memorial of the Queenship ofthe Blessed Virgin Mary. This celebration is one of the various devotions thatwe always offer to the Blessed Mother. In one part of our devotion of theRosary, particularly when we meditate on the fifth glorious mystery, we giveour attention on the mystery of Our Lady who was crowned as queen of heaven andearth. The title queenship of Mary defines the position that the Virgin Maryhad assumed in the participation of the Kingship of Christ to rule overeverything in heaven and on earth. There is no separation or division of powers betweenJesus and Mary. There is no democratic system of power division between partiesinvolved in the Kingdom of heaven. The sovereignty is only one and it is in thehands of Jesus Christ. Mary as the Blessed Mother took part in it as the firsthuman being to do this act and then followed by generations who walk toward thethrone of this kingdom. They keep facing this throne because it is their finaldestination. Facing Him on the throne means we give our trust, obedience,respect and we are happy to follow thisroyal path. In his prophesy, the prophet Ezekiel found the gloryof God inside the temple of Jerusalem, and he was commanded to bring alldevotions and adorations of the people of God to the throne of God's glory. theplace the Lord had chosen to dwell forever among His people. Temples and placesof worship are the throne of God's kingdom that appear physically to usbelievers. Our Lady remains the queen of that throne of the same kingdom, fromwhere she always prays for us sinners. The apostles had chosen to follow Jesus Christ in aradical way, and they were convinced by Jesus to share also their entire livesin His kingdom, which had been inherited by the tribes of Israel. Each of theseapostles became the bishop in every local Church that they led, and they remainunited to the Universal Church with only one leadership for all. The bishopsare the high priests in their respective Churches that they govern. Theirresponsibilities are to bring and direct all the people of God to face the Oneof the throne of the kingdom, who is Jesus Christ. The Pope occupies thatthrone in the world, so it is very proper that we all face the Pope who is onhis special chair which we all know in the Vatican. We always face the kingdom of Jesus when we pray everyday: "Your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as it is inheaven". This gives us a sense of security and feel at home, then itgoverns us through the power of the Holy Spirit, that we may live inrighteousness. We use this kingdom every moment of our lives to strengthen ourfellowship, brotherhood and solidarity on earth among the followers of Christ,so that we can avoid any form divisions and confusions that lead us away fromthe Lord. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O God and almighty Father, we always prayfor the coming of Your kingdom in our midst. May we always be faithful infollowing the path of Your kingdom. Our Father who art in heaven ... In thename of the Father ...
Dr. John Bergsma joins Anna Mitchell to explore the biblical roots of the Queenship of Mary. Looking at the Davidic kingdom, Bathsheba’s role as Queen Mother, and the Gospel accounts of the Annunciation and Visitation, Dr. Bergsma explains how Scripture reveals why Mary, the mother of Jesus the King, is rightly honored as Queen of Heaven and Earth.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The English queens of the fifteenth century have had a serious popularity boost in the last twenty years, thanks to novels and TV series showing the glamour and drama of their lives. Queenship could have serious advantages – fame and fortune included. But eventually, you do have to pay the piper.

They say that behind every successful man is a woman, and when it comes to one of the biggest medieval stories of personal success, that seems to have been true. Everyone's heard of William the Conqueror, the illegitimate duke of Normandy who became king of England in 1066, but fewer people have heard the story of his powerful, indomitable queen: Mathilda of Flanders. This week, Danièle speaks with Laura L. Gathagan about Mathilda's unshakeable reign as duchess and queen, the way she embodied her power, and her role in the conquest of England.This podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!

Empress Matilda wielded an extraordinary amount of power during the period known as the Anarchy in the 12th century, yet she just missed out on being crowned the first queen regnant in England. Originally chosen as heir for her abilities as a ruler, Matilda was determined to fight her cause when her throne was usurped by her cousin Stephen. But how was she viewed by contemporaries, and what is the legacy she left behind? Join Curator Charles Farris, alongside Professors Louise Wilkinson and Elisabeth Van Houts, for an in depth look into how Matilda pushed the limits and possibilities of female power. Who was her counter-part – Queen Matilda, and how did these women conform to, or disrupt medieval expectations of Queenship?

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
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.

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.

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?
