The coronation process for Kings and Queens is a very formal lengthy process - many protocols must be followed - dotting every i - crossing every t. When all is said and done - hundreds - thousands of guests - dignitaries - in attendance - lots of pomp - fuss - grand parties - celebrations - to mark the event. The aftermath - a new Royal - one to look up to - to emulate - to show respect towards.
Today in churches around the world - Catholics honor - reverence the one True Queen of the World. A simple maiden - born not of royal blood - special only to God - God who chose her to bear His Son - to be entrusted with the most precious jewel to grow in the tabernacle of her womb. As a Virgin - unstained - she accepted the Angel's request - granted permission that allowed God to use her - to become the God with flesh on. Throughout her pregnancy - she lived a normal humble life - climbing mountains to visit her cousin Elizabeth - to help Elizabeth through her pregnancy - returning home after many months to finish her own pregnancy - to finally delivering Our Lord to the World in a small smelly manger because there was no room at the inn. Mary was there from conception to the Cross. She brought Jesus into the world to nurture Him - teach Him - walk with Him as His first disciple - to sit in the Upper Room - to stand at the foot of the Cross - to dress His body at death. As the One woman - the Mother of Jesus - as our example of Disciple - she was crowned not in a pompous event - rather in the blood of her Son - as Queen of Heaven. Today Catholics around the World honor Our One True Queen.
