Queen conceived without original sin,

pray for us who have recourse to thee!




St. Montfort went so far as to address her as "my Princess" in his total consecration.

Mary owns the inimitable privilege of being daughter, spouse, and mother of the Triune God.

Today, as we celebrate Our Lady's Coronation as Queen of Heaven, let us remember our duty in this regard. We dare not call upon Christ as our Lord and King without likewise showing all due respect to His chosen Queen.

I feel a litany may be in order for this occasion...

Queen of Angels, ...
Queen of Patriarchs, ...
Queen of Prophets, ...
Queen of Apostles, ...
Queen of Martyrs, ...
Queen of Confessors, ...
Queen of Virgins, ...
Queen of all Saints, ...
Queen conceived without original sin, ...
Queen assumed into heaven, ...
Queen of the most holy Rosary, ...
Queen of Peace, ...

Hail, Holy Queen,
Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope:
to thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve,
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us, and-
after this, our exile-
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb,
JESUS!

O clement, o loving, o sweet Virgin Mary:
pray for us, O Holy Mother of God,
that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ~

+Amen+
