Devotion to Mary: the queen of the spiritual world

Mary Queen of the spiritual world. - Her divine motherhood already gave Mary the right to royalty, as well as the physical world, even over all angels and men; but this royalty acquires a new title with its voluntary participation in the mysteries of the Redemption. Mary with Christ and for Christ, Coredemptrix of mankind, becomes for this very Queen of all souls, especially of predestined souls, of which she is true mother according to the spirit: Regina mundi and Regina Cordium.

And Mary exercises her dominion in the world of grace for her Universal Mediation, whereby all the fruits of the Redemption will come to men exclusively through her holy hands.

3) The SS. Trinity solemnly proclaimed this kingship on the day of the bodily assumption of Mary, which may well be called the feast of the Madonna's kingship. And the Church of that time in her liturgy does nothing but multiply her invocations to the great woman seen by St. John, dressed in the sun and crowned with stars, uniting the title of Queen with the indefinite enumeration of her subjects and her benefits . Pius XII at the end of the Marian Year (1954) solemnly proclaimed the maternal kingship of Mary, setting the feast with an office on May 31st.

4) The Kingship of Mary and the Medal. - Maria SS. he presents himself to S. Labouré in a regal attitude, having the world as his throne, a symbol of his dominion over the physical world. But the Virgin more clearly proclaims her kingship on the moral world, on the redeemed souls, symbolized in the globe surmounted by the cross, which she holds in her hands almost resting on her heart. It is his because God has entrusted it to him and because she has conquered it through Christ and his pains. Mary reveals to us the beneficial effects of her kingship, when, at the end of her almighty prayer, her hands are filled with shining rings that emit beams of light, a symbol, as she herself said, of the royal graces that she pours on her subjects.
