Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Memorial

Today, we celebrate the Queenship of Mary because her Divine Son is King. Pope Pius XII, having declared the dogma of the Assumption, that “the Immaculate Mother of God . . . was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory,” then established the feast of her Queenship. He set the date for the octave (8th day) after the Solemnity of the Assumption, that is, August 22nd each year.

In his encyclical Ad Caeli Reginam, the Pope proclaimed....

Our Lady , Queen of Heaven and Earth

Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe

O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection and beg your intercession against the darkness and sin which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church. Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, gave you to us as our mother as He died on the Cross for our salvation. So too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us, He sent you, as Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac to lead us to Him Who alone is our light and our salvation.

Through your apparitions on Tepeyac and your abiding presence with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego, millions of souls converted to faith in your Divine Son. Through this novena and our consecration to you, we humbly implore your intercession for our daily conversion of life to Him and the conversion of millions more who do not yet believe in Him. In our homes and in our nation, lead us to Him Who alone wins the victory over sin and darkness in us and in the world.

Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart so that they may find their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ever guide us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with Him. So may our hearts, one with yours, always trust in God’s promise of salvation, in His never-failing mercy toward all who turn to Him with a humble and contrite heart. Through this novena and our consecration to you, O Virgin of Guadalupe, lead all souls in America and throughout the world to your Divine Son in Whose name we pray. Amen.

Concluding Prayer

Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory Be

Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us .

AM DYK: The Philippines' two Gold olympic medalists and their Marian connection

Last night, the Philippines saw history as Carlos Yulo won the Gold in Gymnastics, the second for the country in the modern Olympics, the first being Hidilyn Diaz. But what makes it special is that these two Gold medalists is connected to a particular devotion in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In Tokyo 2020 (which took place in 2021 due to the pandemic), after winning Gold for weighlifting, Hidilyn Diaz showed her Miraculous Medal, showing to the world her Catholic faith. Fast forward to this year, Carlos Yulo won Gold in the Men's Floor Gymnastics. After winning, he made the "Signum Crucis".

Upon research, Yulo was a student at the Admason University and the Church located in the University, the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Miraculous Medal. This comes just days after it was announced that the venerated image of the Miraculous Medal de Manila would receive her own gold in the form of a diadem during the rite of Episcopal coronation, which will take place in a date to be determined.

What's more interesting, Carlos Yulo got Gold at the Paris Olympics, with Paris being the place where the devotion to the Miraculous Medal began in 1830, when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Catherine Laboure and introduced the said devotion.

May we see in our lifetime more Catholics glorifying God in their moments of winning while remaining faithful and patient in their times of losing and despair. And with one Devotee showing her love to the Blessed Mother, she will, in a way, return the favor.
