August 22 - Queenship of Mary MY QUEEN, MY MOTHER My Queen! My Mother! I give myself entirely to thee, and, to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate to thee this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, guard me, as thy property and possession. Amen. CHAPLET IN HONOR OF THE VICTORIOUS QUEEN OF THE WORLD (Said on a Rosary) On the cross: Here hung our faith, hope and love; our life, our salvation, and our victory! Followed by three Hail Marys... On the large beads: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, through the Immaculate Virgin, the Victorious Queen of the World, now and forever and ever. Amen. On the small beads: Victorious Queen of the World, show us thy power! At the end, three times: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are filled with Thy glory. Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord. Praise, thanksgiving, love and glory be to God, Who gave us the Victorious Queen of the World. (Taken from The Victorious Queen of the World, Two Hearts Books) THE CORONATION OF MARY Today I praise my Lord and Savior Who made the Virgin Mary queen of heaven and earth, and I pray: Lord of heaven and earth, You crowned Mary and set her as queen at Your right hand. Make me worthy to share in the glory of heaven. - Mary, queen and mother, pray for me. Lord, as her life prepared her for this honor in heaven, may I learn to follow Marys example by listening to Your word and putting it into practice. - Mary, queen and mother, pray for me. Lord God, as You crowned Mary queen of heaven, so also bring those who have died into the joy of Your kingdom. - Mary, queen and mother, pray for me. Almighty Father, You have given Mary to me as my queen and mother. With the help of her prayers, may I come to share in the glory of heaven. I ask this in the name of her Son, Jesus, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Hail Mary Sirach/Ecclus 50:7-8 And as the rainbow giving light in bright clouds, and as the flower of roses in the days of the spring, and as the lilies that are on the brink of the water, and as the sweet smelling frankincense in the time of summer. Hail Mary Canticle/Song 2:1 I am the flower of the field, and the lily of the valleys. Hail Mary Sirach/Ecclus 24:4 And in the multitude of the elect she shall have praise, and among the blessed she shall be blessed, Hail Mary Sirach/Ecclus 24:19 As a fair olive tree in the plains, and as a plane tree by the water in the streets, was I exalted.

Hail Mary Queenship of the B.V.M., Gradual Hail, Queen of mercy, protect us from the enemy, and receive us at the hour of death. Hail Mary & Glory Be + + + + + + Excerpt from the book The Victorious Queen of the World, The spiritual diary of a contemporary mystic, Sr. Natalia of Hungary The Blessed Virgin: Rejoice, I repeat: Rejoice, because the Heavenly Father has done great things to me. He elevated me above everyone else, He blessed me with the royal power of Queen. He placed into my hands the saving work of the world, immersed in wickedness. I am the Victorious Queen of the World, the Queen of every soul. The whole army of hell cannot resist me! Listen to what I say: the victory is in my hands! My power over the world is a blessing and grace to all souls, to all nations, and to the whole world. If power over the world were not given to me, the world would have sunk into the hell of annihilation long ago. My power is the power of Mother over her little ones, who without that protection would have been destroyed. My power over the world means, furthermore, the power over all the archangels together with their hosts whom the Heavenly Father placed beside me to fight the Devil and his servants in human form, when the moment of my victory will come. How can we hasten the victory? A priest asked Sr. Natalia to ask the Blessed Virgin: What shall we do to hasten her victory? The answer came from the Blessed Virgin: If you want to hasten the great miracle of the victory of your Queen, with which I will save the world*, then you who are close to me could help me by trusting me and my Son, as little children would trust their mother, besides making reparation, the Life Offering** and praying. Your trust so far has not been sufficient, and yet the effectiveness of your prayer depends on your trust! If you pray with full confidence, the victory that you are eagerly awaiting will bring the joy of world-wide peace in a cleansed environment. Trust me! Trust me always, my children! * Remember, Mary told St. Dominic, One day through the Rosary and Scapular I will save the world. ** Life Offering booklet available from Mules (504) 889-1708 This post was from an email from JohnOfGod at catholiclist.
