In this month when we celebrate Mary’s Assumption into Heaven (Aug. 15) and Coronation as Queen of Heaven and Earth (Aug. 22), Maria Gallagher offers a meditation on the Fourth and Fifth Glorious Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary.
Eight days after the liturgical feast of the Assumption of Mary, the Church celebrates the Queenship of Mary (the octave day, Aug. 22). There is an integral connection between Mary’s Assumption and Queenship, writes Br. Eliot, MIC.
