Mary the Queen of Heaven

Tallulah do you remember what solemnity of Mary's we celebrated 8 days ago?!

I sure do Cloë, it was the day she went to Heaven. (Click here if you missed this blog entry.)

 
Very good Tallulah, I'm impressed.

Thank you!

Well today we celebrate what we call the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Wow, I didn't know that Mary was a queen.

She is Tallulah. Remember when the Angel Gabriel came to tell Mary that she would be a mother. In fact he told her that her Son would be King over the house of Jacob forever. (Luke 1:26-38)

So that means if Jesus was the King that Mary would be the Queen - right Cloë?!

You got it Tallulah.

One of our best prayers is the Hail Mary. Can you fill in the missing words from the list below?

Hail Mary, full of _ _ _ _ _!

The _ _ _ _ is with thee;

blessed art thou among _ _ _ _ _,

and blessed is the _ _ _ _ _ of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy _ _ _ _, Mother of God,

pray for us _ _ _ _ _ _ _,

now and at the _ _ _ _ of our death. Amen.

Always remember that Mary is the mother and queen of all of us and that she loves all of us! Woof!

Cloë and Tallulah
