PRAYER FOR THE QUEENSHIP OF MARY

Heavenly Father,
we thank You for the gift of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom You have chosen to be the Mother of Your Son and the humble Queen of Heaven and Earth.

On this Feast of the Queenship of Mary, we honor her not because of worldly power, but because of her perfect humility, obedience, love, and faith. She who lovingly stood beside Jesus from Bethlehem to Calvary now reigns with Him in glory.

Mary, our Queen and Mother,
bring us closer to your Son, Jesus Christ. Teach us to trust God even when we do not understand His plans. Help us to say “yes” to His will with the same faith and courage that you showed throughout your life.

When we are troubled, comfort us.
When we are lost, guide us.
When we are weak, strengthen us.
When we are afraid, remind us that God never abandons His children.

Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
Queen of Peace, pray for us.
Queen of Families, pray for us.
Queen of Hope, pray for us.
Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us.

Mary, place our prayers, dreams, struggles, and loved ones at the feet of Jesus. May your maternal care always lead us to the Heart of your Son, who alone is our Savior and our King.

Jesus, King of Kings, reign in our hearts.
Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth, intercede for us.

Amen. 🙏💙👑

Happy and Blessed Feast of the Queenship of Mary!
Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth, pray for us! 🌹👑

WHY DID OUR LADY OF FATIMA APPEAR ON AUGUST 19 INSTEAD OF AUGUST 13?

The apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima are commonly associated with the 13th day of each month from May to October 1917. However, the August apparition was different.

On August 13, 1917, the three shepherd children—Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta—were unable to meet Our Lady at the Cova da Iria because they had been taken by the local authorities for questioning.

Because of this, Our Lady appeared to the children on August 19, 1917, at Valinhos, near Fatima. The children experienced another heavenly encounter, during which Mary urged them to continue praying and making sacrifices for the conversion of sinners.

This extraordinary circumstance reminds us that God’s plans are not always limited by our expectations or circumstances. Even when the children could not go to the usual place on August 13, the message of Our Lady was not prevented.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us and lead us closer to your Son, Jesus. 🙏
