The Coronation of Our LadyThese meditations are taken from "The City of God", by Venerable Mary of Agreda (Spain) Our Lady is alleged to have appeared to Venerable Mary daily over a period of approx. 10 years, instructing her to write the story of the lives of Jesus and Mary. A condensed version of this book (4 volumes, over 1600 pages) is called "Divine Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary", and costs just $6.00. One of the best books on the Rosary that I have ever read.After placing the Blessed Mary on the exalted and supereminent throne the Lord declared to the courtiers of Heaven all the privileges she should enjoy in virtue of her participation in His Majesty. The person of the Eternal Father, speaking to the angels and saints, said to them:`Our daughter Mary was chosen from amongst all creatures. She has a claim on our dominion which we shall recognise by crowning her as the legitimate and peerless Lady and Sovereign.' The Incarnate Word said:`To my true and natural Mother belong all the creatures which were created and redeemed by Me, and of all things over which I am King, she too shall be the legitimate and supreme Queen'. The Holy Spirit said:`Since she is called My Beloved and Chosen Spouse, she deserves to be crowned as Queen for all eternity.' Having thus spoken the Three Divine Persons placed upon the head of the Most Blessed Mary a crown of such new splendour and value, that the like has been seen neither before nor after by any mere creature. And a voice sounded from the Throne, saying:`My Beloved chosen among the creatures, Our Kingdom is Thine;thou shalt be the Lady and the Sovereign of the Angels, and of the entire universe of creatures. |
