August 22-Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Octave of the Assumption

Ever-Virgin Mary, we acclaim you Queen of the universe! For you gave birth to Christ the Lord, who is Savior of all mankind.


Heavenly Father, you gave us your Son's Mother as our own Mother and Queen. In your mercy hear her prayer for us so that we may reach heavenly glory in the kingdom of your children.


Blessed are you, O Virgin Mary, for having believed the message given you by the Lord. With Christ you are now Queen forever.
