THE QUEENSHIP OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

The angel took me to the gate, the one facing east. I saw the glory of the God of Israel approaching from the east. A sound came with it, like the sound of the ocean, and the earth shone with his glory. This vision was like the one I had seen when I had come for the destruction of the city, and like the one I had seen on the bank of the river Chebar. Then I prostrate myself.......
Ezekiel 43:1-7  Mass Readings
Ave Maria
The people that walked in darkness has seen a great light; on those who live in a land of deep shadow a light has shone. You have made their gladness greater, you have made their joy increase; they rejoice in your presence as men rejoice at harvest time, as men rejoice at harvest time, as men are happy when they are dividing the spoils......
Isaiah 9:1-7    Ave Maria
The Queenship of Mary         Ave Maria

The angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David: and the virgin's name was Mary. He went in and said to her, 'Rejoice, so highly favored! The Lord is with you.' She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, 'Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God's   favor. Listen! You are to conceive and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.  'Mary said to the angel, 'But how can this come about, since I am a virgin?'  'The Holy Spirit will come upon you' the angel answered' and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.....     Ave Maria
