I know many of us here have our own views both Protestant, Catholic, Morman, Jewish as well as the folks who may believe in a higher power or Buddha or even Allah...
Today I just felt the need to post about one of my own personal beliefs and a person who saw many miracles and suffered as much as any Man has suffered on this Earth other than her Son Jesus. The Life of Mary was one that IMHO deserves our recognition. Many Women have suffered for us Men is bearing our Children into this World but none have suffered as much as our Holy Mother must have suffered while watching her Son die on the Cross for our sins.
The Coronation of the Virgin Mary is not recounted in scripture, nevertheless it is deeply rooted in scripture.
Reading of the following Bible passages to get a glimpse of these roots: Apocalypse 12:1, Canticle of Canticles 6:9, Psalm 44:14-16 and Judith 15:10.
This has been argued by religious Scholars for Centuries now and today I do not attempt to begin another arguement...only to express my own belief and one of the paths that I personally found in Faith and acceptance and to express how important I believe it is to give her and her Son our Lord and Savior thanks.
God Bless each and everyone of you today as you go about your business of Life in this World we have been blessed with and may you not suffer any anxiety or pain today.
After Jesus took Mary, body and soul into heaven, He crowned her Queen of heaven and earth.
By her very relationship as the mother of Jesus, Mary is queen because Jesus is King. Who is a king's mother?
A queen of course. And Mary is the greatest queen ever for she is the mother of the King of Kings and the Prince of Peace, Jesus.
The Angel Gabriel declared this to be true...
"He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end." -Luke 1:32-33
Not only is Mary the mother of the King, she is the most highly favored daughter of God the Father and the Spouse of God the Holy Spirit.
She always obeyed God and was humble before Him.
Mary received the promised "never fading crown of glory" because her life so perfectly resembled that of her Son's and because she shared in all His sufferings. -1Peter 5:4
As a reward for her holiness and perfection of virtues, Jesus gave her dominion over the Angels and the Saints as their queen.
Evil spirits fear Mary more than any other human because they never had any power over her for she was conceived in her mother's womb without the blemish of original sin.
Jesus could only enter this world through a spotless woman, one created as Adam and Eve were created, perfect in the eyes of God.
