Lessons on Mary IV


Living in the Time of the Coronation

The Queenship of Mary brings special joy to my heart. It is the first day of my renewal of my consecration to Mary (my consecration day starts on a Mary feast day and ends on a Mary feast day…pretty legit).  It also calls to mind the Coronation, one of my favorite mysteries of the Rosary on which to reflect.

Most all the mysteries of the Rosary are called to mind year round in the observances of the liturgical year of the Church, and especially the Crucifixion, which happens in all of eternity.  One could say that we live out the happenings of the Rosary continuously.  But especially the Coronation.  The Coronation, which is the last mystery, is that mystery which we are living in now.  Everything else happened pretty chronologically, as far as life and death stuff, but the Coronation happened and is happening.  The Queen of the Universe is constantly being honored for her devotion and piety.  She is constantly being reverenced as the Mother of the human race, the Seat of Wisdom whom we can approach to appeal to the eternal Logos.
