Aug 22, 2019 · We don’t worship Mary. Instead Mary as the Queen of Heaven is tied in with the Old Testament concept of the royal household. Because the King had many wives it was impossible for one to be Queen. Therefore the King’s mother served in the role. The Queen Mother sat on a throne at the King’s right hand and helped rule the kingdom.
Oct 30, 2021 · If Mary has an immense authority in heaven, it must surely be in connection to her Divine Mother as the Mother of Our Redeemer, Jesus Christ and is seen as the Queen Mother and Mediatrix of All Graces. Please note these subjects are yet not completely defined, although many papal documents do speak about it.
May 14, 2023 · One of the primary reasons for the mother being named as queen, as opposed to the king’s wife, is most kings had multiple wives during their reign. In Biblical times it was not unusual for a king to have several wives at once and, thus, creating quite the conundrum in naming a queen. On the other hand, a king could only have one mother.
May 31, 2018 · A sample of the manna, the miraculous bread from heaven (Exod. 16). The Ten Commandments, God’s words from heaven (Exod. 20). The rod of Aaron, the high priest (Num. 17). All three of these gifts given by God to Israel were types—spiritual prefigurements—of Jesus Christ. Mary carried within her womb: The true bread from heaven (John 6:32).

488 "God sent forth his Son," but to prepare a body for him,he wanted the free co-operation of a creature. For this, from all eternity God chose for the mother of his Son a daughter of Israel, a young Jewish woman of Nazareth in Galilee, "a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary": 489 ...
490 To become the mother of the Savior, Mary "was enriched by God with gifts appropriate to such a role." The angel Gabriel at the moment of the annunciation salutes her as "full of grace." In fact, in order for Mary to be able to give the free assent of her faith to the announcement of her vocation, it was necessary that she be wholly borne by God...
494 At the announcement that she would give birth to "the Son of the Most High" without knowing man, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Mary responded with the obedience of faith, certain that "with God nothing will be impossible": "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be [done] to me according to your word."Thus, giving her consent to God's...
495 Called in the Gospels "the mother of Jesus," Mary is acclaimed by Elizabeth, at the prompting of the Spirit and even before the birth of her son, as "the mother of my Lord." In fact, the One whom she conceived as man by the Holy Spirit, who truly became her Son according to the flesh, was none other than the Father's eternal Son, the second per...
496 From the first formulations of her faith, the Church has confessed that Jesus was conceived solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary, affirming also the corporeal aspect of this event: Jesus was conceived "by the Holy Spirit without human seed."The Fathers see in the virginal conception the sign that it truly was th...
499 The deepening of faith in the virginal motherhood led the Church to confess Mary's real and perpetual virginity even in the act of giving birth to the Son of God made man. In fact, Christ's birth "did not diminish his mother's virginal integrity but sanctified it." And so the liturgy of the Church celebrates Mary as Aeiparthenos, the "Ever-virg...
502 The eyes of faith can discover in the context of the whole of Revelation the mysterious reasons why God in his saving plan wanted his Son to be born of a virgin. These reasons touch both on the person of Christ and his redemptive mission, and on the welcome Mary gave that mission on behalf of all men. 503 Mary's virginity manifests God's absolu...
508 From among the descendants of Eve, God chose the Virgin Mary to be the mother of his Son. "Full of grace," Mary is "the most excellent fruit of redemption" (SC 103): from the first instant of her conception, she was totally preserved from the stain of original sin and she remained pure from all personal sin throughout her life. 509 Mary is trul...
963 Since the Virgin Mary's role in the mystery of Christ and the Spirit has been treated, it is fitting now to consider her place in the mystery of the Church. "The Virgin Mary … is acknowledged and honored as being truly the Mother of God and of the redeemer … . She is 'clearly the mother of the members of Christ' … since she has by her charity j...
964 Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it. "This union of the mother with the Son in the work of salvation is made manifest from the time of Christ's virginal conception up to his death";it is made manifest above all at the hour of his Passion: 965 After her Son's Ascension, Mary "aided the b...
Dec 8, 2014 · Finding the very first instance of this is difficult; there are (as a severe underestimate) thousands of works by hundreds of writers who may have mentioned Mary. I'm relying strongly in this answer on the article I linked for you above, "The Queenship of Mary during the Patristic Period", which in turn relies heavily on an article by an "H. Barré" in the French journal Recherches de science ...

Aug 21, 2024 · In Holy Writ, concerning the Son whom Mary will conceive, we read this sentence: “He shall be called the Son of the most High, and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father, and he shall reign in the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end" (Lk 1:32-33), and in addition Mary is called “Mother of the Lord" (Ibid., 43); from this it is easily ...
