Commentary: Quoth the bulletin:
Mary's queenship has roots in Scripture. At the Annunciation, (the archangel) Gabriel announced that Mary's Son would receive the throne of David & rule forever. At the Visitation, (St.) Elizabeth calls Mary "mother of my Lord." As in all the mysteries of Mary's life, Mary is closely associated with Jesus: Her queenship is a share of Jesus's kingship. We can also recall that in the Old Testament the mother of the king has great influence in court.Scripture of the Day
