August 22, 2011 Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary Dear Family of Mary!"Dear children! Today I am calling you to a complete surrender to God. Everything you do and everything you possess give over to God so that He can take control in your life as the King of all that you possess. That way, through me, God can lead you into the depths of the spiritual life. Little children, do not be afraid, because I am with you even if you think there is no way out and that Satan is in control. I am bringing peace to you. I am your mother, the Queen of Peace. I am blessing you with the blessings of joy so that for you God may be everything in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call." (July 25, 1988) This message is so comforting. Our Lady reminds us of her Queenship, as indeed the Queen of Peace. She draws us into her embrace, her blessing, and her protection as our Queen. She reminds us that Jesus is the King and that He has dominion over all. There is nothing to fear. We are his subjects and enjoy his complete protection. She tells us she is with us. She is with us even when we don't detect her presence. She is with us, our Mother, our Queen. Wow! Blessed John Paul II was very aware of his Mother, Mary. He lived his life totally for Mary. He entrusted everything to her. He prayed this prayer to Mary as Queen of Peace! In his deep awareness of the suffering of our world, he knew that it was to Our Lady that we must turn for help. His words are dark with the reality of our day, the violence and sin. But he turns to the one who can help. Let's pray it with him today on this beautiful feast of Mary, our Queen. O MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE
To you, O Mary, we turn our gaze with stronger trepidation, to you we hasten back with more insistent trust in these times scarred by a multitude of doubts and fears for the present and future destiny of our planet.
To you, the first-fruits of humanity redeemed by Christ, set free at last from the slavery of evil and sin, we raise together our heartfelt, trusting plea: listen to the cry of pain of the war victims, of the victims of the many forms of violence that bathe the earth in blood.
Dispel the shadows of sorrow and of loneliness, of hatred and of revenge. Open to forgiveness the minds and hearts of all!
Queen of Peace,  Cover of Pope John Paul II pray for us!
Mother of mercy and of hope, obtain for the men and women of the third millennium the precious gift of peace; peace in hearts and families, in communities and among peoples; peace above all for those nations where people fight and die every day. Obtain that every human being of every race and culture may encounter and accept Jesus, who came down to earth in the mystery of Christmas to give His peace to us.
O Mary, Queen of Peace, give us Christ, the world's true Peace!  Image via Wikipedia In Jesus, our King and Mary, our Queen! Cathy Nolan Mary TV |
