 25 At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones.In illo tempore respondens Jesus dixit : Confiteor tibi, Pater, Domine caeli et terrae, quia abscondisti haec a sapientibus, et prudentibus, et revelasti ea parvulis. 26 Yea, Father; for so hath it seemed good in thy sight.Ita Pater : quoniam sic fuit placitum ante te. 27 All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him.Omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo novit Filium, nisi Pater : neque Patrem quis novit, nisi Filius, et cui voluerit Filius revelare. 28 Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you.Venite ad me omnes qui laboratis, et onerati estis, et ego reficiam vos. 29 Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.Tollite jugum meum super vos, et discite a me, quia mitis sum, et humilis corde : et invenietis requiem animabus vestris. 30 For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.Jugum enim meum suave est, et onus meum leve.St Margaret Mary Alacoque was born at Verosvres (France) in 1647 and entered the Order of the Visitation at Paray-le-Monial in 1671. Jesus appeared to her in numerous visions, displaying to her His Sacred Heart, sometimes burning as a furnace, and sometimes torn and bleeding on account of the coldness and sins of men. In 1675 the great revelation was made to her that she, in union with Father de la Colombiere, SJ, was to be the chief instrument for instituting the Feast of the Sacred Heart and for spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart throughout the world. She died on October 17, A.D. 1690.

As we spend these weeks reflecting on The Mysteries of the Rosary, it is helpful to begin with something so familiar that we rarely stop to ponder it . . . the very names of the sets of mysteries themselves. Each conference will center on these sacred mysteries, inviting us to notice how the Church, in her wisdom, presents them to us in a particular and meaningful way. Join us for three Conferences offering prayerful reflection and fresh insights into The Mysteries of the Rosary, deepening our understanding of this treasured devotion. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Meditations on the Mysteries of the Rosary The Joyful Mysteries: The Heartbeat of the Rosary As we reflect over these three conferences . . . three weeks . . . on The Mysteries of the Rosary, it's important to begin with something obvious that we seldom simply pause and consider in itself, and that is the names of the sets of mysteries. Today we are focusing on the Joyful Mysteries, and it's important to recognize that in giving these five mysteries, this particular name as a set, the Catholic tradition is presenting them to us in a certain way. The Joyful Mysteries remind us that our faith begins with joy . . . the joy that the Savior has come. At the heart of the Rosary is the Hail Mary, not a prayer written by man, but a heavenly greeting that began salvation history: “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.” Every mystery rests on this divine message. The Rosary starts with The Mystery of the Annunciation . . . the Incarnation . . . the moment the Word became flesh in Mary's womb . . . containing within it all of Christ's life, death, and resurrection. When We ray the Rosary, We do so with Mary When we pray the Rosary, we do so with Mary, who helps us understand and treasure the mysteries of her Son. Her humility in the Annunciation leads to charity in the Visitation, where she “sets out in haste” to serve Elizabeth. There, joy overflows: the unborn John the Baptist leaps, Elizabeth rejoices, and Mary sings her Magnificat, the Church's first hymn of praise. These mysteries invite us to share Mary's joy, humility, and love as we draw closer to Jesus through her. Listen to this Meditation Media.

In this sermon from Job 2:1–13 and 1 Thessalonians 2–3, Shane Dirks continues the Effective Church series by exploring what it means to be a church that shows up for one another. He contrasts Paul's reports on his missionary work and the Thessalonian church, showing their shared alignment in word ministry, demonstrable change, and presence. Shane highlights that the gospel is not just spoken but lived out in faithful relationships—through encouragement, endurance, and showing up in both mission and community. Drawing parallels to Job's friends, who initially comforted him through their presence, Shane challenges believers to “show up” for others even when words fall short. Using the incarnation of Jesus as the ultimate example of God showing up for humanity, he urges the church to live out this same love through commitment, fellowship, prayer, and perseverance as we await Christ's return.   5 Questions to Think About: How do Paul's reports in 1 Thessalonians 2–3 show alignment between mission and church life? What does it mean for you personally to “show up” for others in your church community? How can presence—simply being with someone—communicate the love of Christ more powerfully than words? In what ways does Jesus' incarnation model God's commitment to “showing up” for us? How can we, as a church, cultivate deeper habits of encouragement, prayer, and perseverance together?   3 Things to Take Away from the Message: Presence matters — God calls his people not only to proclaim the gospel but to live it through genuine, faithful relationships (1 Thessalonians 2:8). The incarnation shows God's way — Jesus “showed up” in flesh and blood to dwell among us, setting the pattern for how we love others (John 1:14). An effective church shows up — in mission, in care, and in prayer, strengthening one another as we await the return of Christ (1 Thessalonians 3:12–13).

À l'occasion de la fête de la Visitation, le clip « Un mystère si précieux » a été dévoilé sur la toile. C'est le fruit du travail de CIFRAL, une agence audiovisuelle, co-fondée par Marine Arsac qui vient faire halte sur le plateau de KTO. Son équipe de production s'est associée avec les Petites Soeurs des Maternités Catholiques pour réaliser ce mini film qui met en lumière le don de la vie et celles qui y contribuent. Anciennement dans le domaine du marketing, et ayant toujours eu une appétence pour la musique, Marine s'est reconvertie dans l'audiovisuel et formée à la réalisation. Elle voit son travail comme un outil permettant de mettre en lumière des causes au service du bien commun. Sur KTO, la jeune femme partage son chemin de foi et son approche novatrice, alliant clips artistiques et messages engagés.

David, offended by a tragic event, initially refused to move the Ark of God, symbolizing His presence, into the city. Obed-Edom, despite inconvenience, welcomed the Ark, receiving abundant blessings. This teaches that making room for God requires sacrifice—through devoted prayer, fasting, and giving. Such sacrifices are investments, yielding generational blessings. David, inspired by Obed-Edom's blessings, overcame his offense, brought the Ark to his city, and secured divine favor. Sacrifice, through devotion and generosity, is the pathway to God's visitation and lasting provision.All these questions were answered just as Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee, Jentezen Franklin, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyaklihome, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Paul Dhinakaran, Samuel Patta, Ezekiah Francis, Johnson Varghese, Paul Thangiah, Mohan C Lazarus, TD Jakes and others01.)Why did David initially refuse to move the Ark of the Lord?02.)What happens when someone is in a place of offense with God?03.)What does it mean to treat the presence of God casually?04.)How did Obed-Edom respond to the Ark's presence in his home?05.)What was the result of Obed-Edom's sacrifice?06.)Why is sacrifice described as an investment in God's kingdom?07.)How can one make room for God's presence in their life?08.)What is the significance of the “new wine” in the context of giving?09.)How did David's attitude change after hearing about Obed-Edom's blessings?10.)What is the role of fasting in making room for God?

Fr. Daniel Klimek joins Patrick to discuss the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary (4:04) Why do we call the Joyful mysteries by that name? What is the story of the miracle of the Sun? (8:39) First Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation (18:59) Richard - Immaculate Conception...Was Mary ever exposed to temptation? (22:54) Break 1 (24:27) Second Joyful Mystery the Visitation.

The early church was devoted to visiting.  What is visitation?

What does life look like for Bryan Kohberger now that he's off the front page and locked inside one of Idaho's most restrictive prisons? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the Idaho Maximum Security Institution—home to death row, long-term restrictive housing, and now, Bryan Kohberger. This is not general population. This is J Block. And the reality of Kohberger's existence there is bleak. We break down every confirmed detail of his day-to-day life: • 23 hours a day in a single cell • One hour of solo outdoor rec • Showers every other day • Movement only in full restraints • Commissary as his only “task” of the week • Surveillance on all calls, messages, and mail • Visitation through glass, if allowed at all Using official records from the Idaho Department of Correction and verified reporting, this is a deeply researched, fact-driven look at the institutional monotony, isolation, and psychological erosion that defines Kohberger's life today. This isn't a story of redemption, revenge, or rehabilitation. It's the slow, bureaucratic erasure of a man from public view—no longer a suspect, no longer a student, no longer in control. Tony Brueski guides you through this haunting portrait with the signature Hidden Killers voice: sharp, emotionally grounded, and relentlessly focused on truth over spectacle.

We break down every confirmed detail of his day-to-day life: • 23 hours a day in a single cell • One hour of solo outdoor rec • Showers every other day • Movement only in full restraints • Commissary as his only “task” of the week • Surveillance on all calls, messages, and mail • Visitation through glass, if allowed at all Using official records from the Idaho Department of Correction and verified reporting, this is a deeply researched, fact-driven look at the institutional monotony, isolation, and psychological erosion that defines Kohberger's life today. This isn't a story of redemption, revenge, or rehabilitation. It's the slow, bureaucratic erasure of a man from public view—no longer a suspect, no longer a student, no longer in control. Tony Brueski guides you through this haunting portrait with the signature Hidden Killers voice: sharp, emotionally grounded, and relentlessly focused on truth over spectacle.

Send us a textBe Sure to Click the link in the descriptionPray the Rosary: The Life of Jesus and MaryIn a world that often feels like it's spinning out of control—between endless notifications, global crises, and the quiet ache of personal struggles—there's a lifeline that's been passed down through centuries, a spiritual anchor that can steady even the most turbulent heart. It's the Rosary, a prayer that isn't just a string of beads or a rote recitation, but a profound journey through the lives of Jesus and Mary. Here at Journeys of Faith, we've spent over four decades diving deep into the mysteries of our Catholic faith, from the awe-inspiring Eucharistic miracles to the tender intercession of the Blessed Virgin. And let me tell you, praying the Rosary has been a game-changer, not just for us, but for countless souls we've met along the way.Picture this: it's 1980, and Bob and Penny Lord, the founders of Journeys of Faith, are standing before the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano in Italy. Their lives are forever altered by this tangible proof of Christ's presence, and they're ignited with a mission to share the treasures of our faith—through books, television programs on EWTN, and pilgrimages to sacred sites. But amid all these grand endeavors, one simple practice kept them grounded: praying the Rosary. It became their compass, guiding them through the joys and sorrows of life, just as it can for you. This isn't just a prayer; it's a meditation on the very heart of the Gospel, a way to walk with Mary as she leads us closer to her Son.I've seen it myself—on retreats at our Holy Family Mission in Arkansas, or during quiet moments with fellow pilgrims at Marian shrines—how the Rosary transforms. It's not about perfection; it's about showing up, bead by bead, mystery by mystery. Whether you're a lifelong Catholic or someone just dipping your toes into the waters of faith, the Rosary is an invitation to slow down, to reflect, and to let the lives of Jesus and Mary speak to your own. So, join us on this journey. Let's explore how to pray the Rosary, why it matters, and how it can become a source of strength and peace in your life. At Journeys of Faith, we're not just about teaching the faith—we're about living it with you, one prayer at a time.The Rosary as a Scriptural Walk Through the GospelsLet's dive into the heart of the Rosary, where every bead becomes a stepping stone through the life of Christ and His Blessed Mother. If you've ever felt like the Gospels are a distant text, something to be read but not lived, praying the Rosary flips that script. It's not just a repetitive prayer; it's a narrative journey, a way to walk the dusty roads of Galilee, stand at the foot of the Cross, and witness the empty tomb—all through the lens of Mary's eyes.Each set of mysteries—Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious—unpacks a chapter of salvation history. Take the Joyful Mysteries, for instance. You're not just reciting the Annunciation; you're there with Mary when the angel Gabriel drops the bombshell that she'll bear the Son of God. You feel the weight of her “yes,” the trust in a plan she couldn't fully grasp. Move to the Visitation, and you're trekking with her to Elizabeth, pondering how two women, pregnant with the impossible, find strength in each other's faith. Every Hail Mary is a brushstroke painting these scenes in your mind, grounding the abstract in the deeply personal.Thanks for supporting Journeys of Faith Be Sure to Click the link in the descriptionBrowse our Rosary CollectionOpen by Steve Bailey Support the show

Have you ever wondered what happens when Jesus shows up unexpectedly in a city? In Luke 7, an unremarkable town called Nain became forever memorable through a divine visitation that transformed lives. Pastor Chad powerfully illustrates how God's presence brings three life-changing gifts: His personal visitation that demands our full response, His supernatural help when we're at our weakest, and His unmerited favor that makes us better than we could be on our own. From modern miracle stories of restored marriages and healed bodies to ancient biblical accounts, this message reminds us that God still visits His people today—especially when we honor His presence and cry out in desperation. Don't miss this inspiring exploration of how to prepare for and respond to God's visitation in your life. Watch now to discover how to position yourself for a divine encounter!

In this podcast, Functional Ecology author Jennifer Apland chats to Assistant Editor Amelia Macho about her research article, " Jennifer experimentally manipulated the temperature of model flowers to evaluate how flower temperature impacts visitation and behavior of wild bee and fly pollinators. Her research highlights that wild insect pollinator responses to floral temperature depend on ambient temperature. It also suggests that flowers with traits facilitating warming in cool conditions and cooling in warm conditions may experience higher rates of pollinator visitation and resultant reproductive success.

This MTM Minute is powered by Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. In this week's, full-length episode, as a part of the BRAND NEW Legacy Led CEO Series, Stepping Into Legacy Led Leadership,  Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon issues a prophetic call to entrepreneurs who know deep down they were not called to be a moment, they were chosen to be a movement. If you've hit high income but still feel heavy, this episode will help you see that the problem isn't strategy, it's identity. You'll discover the four levels of leadership identity (Business Owner, Entrepreneur, CEO, Legacy-Led CEO) and explore the mindset and mantle required to build from eternity, not just economy. If you're done playing small, tired of hustling for visibility, and ready to lead with conviction, anointing, and legacy, this episode is your spiritual recalibration. It's time to stop scaling chaotically and start stewarding strategically. Wealth with permanence requires identity with power—and this episode is your invitation to claim it.  This episode will disrupt your comfort zone, reframe your business identity, and call you out of hiding. It will invite you to step into the full weight of your divine assignment—not just to build a business, but to carry a movement. You'll learn how to lead like a Legacy-Led CEO, how to distinguish your momentum from your mantle, and how to stop building from ego and start building for eternity. This is your wake-up call to stop playing small and lead with strategy, soul, and spiritual conviction. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is I am not a moment;  I am a movement divinely designed to carry wealth, wisdom, and impact across generations. My voice carries vibration. My vision carries legacy. My leadership is not about validation; it is about visitation from the future. I no longer build for applause or hustle for significance. I build from a mantle that commands inheritance. I lead with divine authority, and I birth blueprints that will outlive me. My alignment, my anointing, and my assignment are no longer up for negotiation. I am the legacy. I am the vessel. I am the movement. Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Redefine Legacy. Legacy is not an amount — it's an assignment. Start building with the awareness that your business is a spiritual blueprint for generations you'll never meet. Audit Your Identity. Take inventory of who you're being in business. Are you leading like a tired operator… or a Legacy-Led CEO? Shift your posture before you shift your plans. Shift from Validation to Visitation. If you're building to be seen or validated, you're building from ego. True wealth comes when you're building from your divine visitation — a God-given mandate to lead. Affirm with me: I am not a moment;  I am a movement divinely designed to carry wealth, wisdom, and impact across generations. My voice carries vibration. My vision carries legacy. My leadership is not about validation; it is about visitation from the future. I no longer build for applause or hustle for significance. I build from a mantle that commands inheritance. I lead with divine authority, and I birth blueprints that will outlive me. My alignment, my anointing, and my assignment are no longer up for negotiation. I am the legacy. I am the vessel. I am the movement.   And this week's journal prompts are: The part of me that is still building from a moment instead of a movement is… When I imagine myself as a Legacy-Led CEO, I feel… I am no longer available for leadership that feels like…   And Your Prayer of the Week: Heavenly Father, Thank you for reminding us that we are not just building businesses — we are birthing blueprints. We surrender the desire to hustle for worthiness and instead align with your mandate to multiply. Help us remember that legacy is not just what we leave behind but what we leave in others. We ask for courage to lead from our mantle, wisdom to steward wealth with peace and purpose, and the grace to stop hiding and fully show up in our assignment. May we be bold, obedient, and faithful stewards of the movement you entrusted to us.   Want more of Darnyelle?

Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 8, as the Church has done from the earliest times, we rejoice in the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin “Mary was of the lineage of Abraham, born of the tribe of Judah and of the progeny of King David, from whom the Son of God was born, made man by the work of the Holy Spirit, to free humanity from the ancient bondage of sin,” as The Roman Martyrology states.Born immaculate and full of grace, Mary was conceived to be the mother of the Savior of the world, the spiritual mother of all men, and the holiest, most perfect of God's creatures.By the will of the Trinity, through her, all grace is given to men.In Mary, Queen of heaven and of earth, all human nature is exalted.This feast of the nativity of Mary is one of the three birthdays in the Church Calendar—the Birth of Jesus (December 25), the Birth of John the Baptist (June 24), and the Birthday of Mary. All three were born without original sin, although Mary and Jesus were conceived without sin, and St. John was cleansed of original sin while in the womb at the Visitation of Mary.Let us often call upon the Blessed Virgin as "Cause of our joy", one of the most beautiful titles in her litany.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!

Read OnlineHerod was the one who had John the Baptist arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, whom he had married. John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.” Herodias harbored a grudge against him and wanted to kill him but was unable to do so. Mark 6:17–19The suffering and death of Saint John the Baptist greatly parallels the suffering and death of Jesus. They were cousins. John was one of the first to acknowledge the divine presence of our Lord when he leaped for joy in the womb of his mother during the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth. John lived a holy and simple life, embracing His mission to prepare the way for the Lord. He was the last and greatest of the Old Testament prophets. Of him, Jesus said that there was no one born of woman who was greater than John. For these reasons, we should not be the least bit surprised that John's suffering and death parallelled and prefigured the death of the Savior of the World.Herod was fearful of John, believing him to be a holy man of God. He imprisoned him with a certain regret, knowing that he was innocent. Similarly, before Pilate condemned Jesus to death, he found Him not guilty of any crime. Pilate knew Jesus was innocent but allowed fear to direct his choice to condemn our Lord.John was ultimately killed because of the hatred and plotting of Herodias, the unlawful wife of Herod. It was Herodias' anger that became a weapon, forcing Herod to put John to death. Similarly, it was the jealousy and anger of the religious leaders at that time that instigated and drove the death of Jesus. Pilate, like Herod, was at first unwilling to condemn our Lord. But the relentless hatred of the scribes and Pharisees compelled Pilate to condemn Jesus, just as it was Herodias' hatred that compelled Herod to kill John.After John's death, some of his disciples came to carry his body away for burial. This was permitted by Herod, perhaps because of his feelings of guilt. So also with our Lord, Pilate permitted some disciples and the holy women to carry Jesus' dead body to the tomb for burial.In the end, the good fruit of Jesus' death infinitely overshadowed the crime that was committed against Him. So also with John. We can be certain that, as a martyr, the blood he shed as a witness to Christ bore spiritual fruit that surpassed all he had done in his public ministry. Each of us is called to imitate our Lord and, therefore, should also take inspiration from Saint John the Baptist. They both were innocent but suffered greatly. They both spoke the truth, despite the hatred of some. They both gave their lives, in accord with the Father's plan. Jesus was John's Savior; John was but a precursor and servant of our Lord. Reflect, today, upon the invitation God has given to you to imitate the life of John the Baptist by uniting yourself to his Lord. The first form of imitation will take place when you commit yourself to the proclamation of the truth in accord with your mission. What mission has God given to you? How is He calling you to proclaim the Gospel with courage, strength, determination and fidelity to the end? Reflect, also, upon the injustice inflicted first upon John and then upon our Lord. As you do, try to look at any injustice you have received in life in the light of John's and Jesus' lives. They did not run away from injustice. They embraced it as a sacrifice and offered it to the Father in Heaven. Jesus' Sacrifice brought forth the Salvation of the World; John's was but a sharing in that glorious offering. Make your offering with them, and do not hesitate to do so with deep love and trust in the Father's plan. Most glorious Lord, You invited Saint John the Baptist to prepare the way for Your coming and Your death. He gave his life as a martyr, and this sacrifice bore an abundance of good fruit. Please give me the grace to walk in his footsteps by faithfully fulfilling my mission in life with courage and strength. May I never waver in the face of injustice so that I can embrace it and make it my spiritual offering to You. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

At the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, Cardinal Wilton Gregory and Archbishop Timothy Broglio celebrated a special Mass on the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray for the Synod, as requested by Pope Francis. The Synod enters its global phase in October of this year. Learn more about the Synod at www.usccb.org/synod. The Vatican Dicastery for Communication has provided a new reflection on social media. Find that document at www.vatican.va/roman_curia/dpc/documents/20230528_dpc-verso-piena-presenza_en.html. During his General Audience on May 31, Pope Francis spoke about the need to live a life that is consistent with our faith.

St. Jane Frances De Chantal - Wife, Mother, Widow and Foundress of the Visitation Order (August 12). While married, Jane ably managed her husband's estate to provide for the care of the poor and the disenfranchised. After the untimely death of her husband of nine years who was accidentally shot in a hunting accident, she retreated into prayer and an austere life. She met Francis de Sales in Dijon, France (in 1604) and together, they founded the Congregation of the Visitation, a Religious Order that welcomed women who were unable to join existing Orders because of their age or infirmity. By the time of her death in 1641, Jane Frances De Chantal had founded over 85 convents of Visitation Sisters.

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.
