Queenship of Mary

Ruth 2:1-3,8-11,4:13-17; Ps 128;
Matthew 23:1-12

Blessed art thou

Our love for Mary, Queen of Heaven, is evident in the many beautiful names she has been given over the millennia: Handmaid of the Lord, Virgin Most Pure, Immaculate Mother, Mother of Christ, Mother of God, Star of the Sea, Bride of Heaven, Flower of Carmel, Dispenser of Grace, Ocean Star, Mary Queen of Angels, Mother of Help, Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Queen of the Holy Rosary, Favoured One, Our Lady.

My soul magnifies the Lord. My spirit rejoices in God, my saviour.
