The Queenship of Mary

 The Queenship of Mary 

Venerable Pius XII established this feast in 1954. But Mary’s queenship has roots in Scripture. 

-At the Annunciation, Gabriel announced that Mary’s Son would receive the throne of David and rule forever. 

-At the Visitation, Elizabeth calls Mary “mother of my Lord.”

- Venerable Pius XII points out that Mary deserves the title because she is Mother of God, because she is closely associated as the New Eve with Jesus’ redemptive work, because of her preeminent perfection and because of her intercessory power.
