NICAN MOPOHUA ("HERE IS TOLD") and set down in order how a short time ago the Perfect Virgin Holy Mary Mother of God, our Queen, miraculously appeared out at Tepeyac, widely known as Guadalupe. First she caused herself to be seen by an Indian named Juan Diego, poor but worthy of respect; and then her Precious Image appeared before the recently named Bishop, Don Fray Juan de Zumárraga. 1 Ten years after the City of Mexico was conquered, with the arrows and shields put aside, when there was peace in all the towns, 2 just as it sprouted, faith now grows green, now opens its corolla, the knowledge of the One by whom we all live: the true God. 3 At that time, the year 1531, a few days into the month of December, it happened that there was a humble but respected Indian, a poor man of the people; 4 his name was Juan Diego; he lived in Cuauhtitlán, as they say. 5 and in all the things of God, he belonged to Tlaltilolco. 6 It was Saturday, not yet dawn; he was coming in pursuit of God and his commandments. 7 And as he drew near the little hill called Tepeyac it was beginning to dawn. 8 He heard singing on the little hill, like the song of many precious birds; when their voices would stop, it was as if the hill were answering them; extremely soft and delightful, their songs exceeded the songs of the coyoltotl and the tzinitzcan and other precious birds.

Vandry: The Nature of Mary's Universal Queenship THE NATURE OF MARY'S UNIVERSAL QUEENSHIP ALTHOUGH the Scriptures afford our faith no clear testi­ mony of Mary's Queenship, nor of its universal nature,· that dignity of the Mother of God is nevertheless acknowledged unanimously by the Christian Tradition. Indeed the Church, for a long time now and with great devotion, through the sayings of the Fathers and the Popes, the teachings of the Councils and the prayerful strains of the Litm~gy has not ceased proclaiming its belief in the Queenship of Mary.1 Hence it can be said that this special dignity is a fact we dare not disbelieve. It is also a comforting truth, one whose nature ,, it is greatly beneficial to grasp and meditate upon. Let us, therefore, attempt to understand the nature of this honour that we may unfold the true significance of Mary's glorious title: _Queen of Heaven and Earth-Regina co eli, gloriosa Regina mundi.

  • Mariology- Part II- Mother of the Church, Assumption, Queen Of
    MARIOLOGY: PART II MOTHER OF THE CHURCH, ASSUMPTION, QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND MARIAN DEVOTION BY: REV. FR. PHILIP-MICHAEL F. TANGORRA, STL, JCL MOTHER OF THE CHURCH • As Mother of God (Mother of the True Body of Christ), Mary is Mother of the Church - the Mystical Body of Christ: Mary’s motherhood of the People of God, the Church, flows from her union with her Son, Jesus Christ. “This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfilment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation .... Therefore, the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix. (Vatican II, dogmatic constitution on the Church Lumen gentium 62: AAS 57 (1965) 63.)” • Pope St. Paul VI: (from the papal audience of Nov. 18, 1964, where Mary was given the title “Mother of the Church”: “Maria, as we know, occupies a most singular position, she too is a member of the Church, she is redeemed by Christ, she is our sister, but according to her election as the Mother of the Redeemer of humanity, and in accord with her perfect and eminent representation of the human race, she can rightly be called morally and typically the mother of all humanity, and especially ours, of us believers and redeemed, the Mother of the Church, the Mother of the Faithful.” ASSUMPTION • Body and Soul in Heaven: Seeing that Mary is Immaculate, her body already redeemed from the moment of her conception by the power of the Cross of Christ, after she died, her body and soul received their glorification — in accord with the post-Resurrection glory of Christ’s body — and she was brought into heaven.
