Hail Holy Queen
Dear Blessed Mother, today we venerate you in one of the most reverent ways possible. I write you this long prayer of devotion; however, we both know it will never truly be enough– Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope, we cry out to you, Blessed Mother, asking for your intercession throughout the entirety of our lives. For we are banished children of Eve, sending up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this world, waiting to reach your son in his infinite glory. We must establish our devotion to you through your immaculate heart, Blessed Mother, for your son, Christ Jesus. This is your month, the month you receive our earthly crown. Unlike His crown of thorns, this one blossoms with our love for you.
Your intercession stands out as the most extraordinary influence in my life. I see my earthly mother so much in you, Blessed Mother, just like all your children do. I see the pain she offers up to your son and the sacrifices she has made for me. You, Blessed Mother, must have felt the same pain when you kneeled at the foot of your son’s cross, wondering when his suffering would end. I’ve wondered that every day since the 2nd Grade, and since then I have come to know you. Now, I know it is all in God's plan, and nothing can be done to change it.
The sweetness of my life is directly linked to the guidance you have blessed my mother with. My mother, my dearest companion, showers me with love that resonates within me. I also feel that from you, Blessed Mother, an undying passionate love from your heart. I’ve learned many things this year, and one of the most important has been succumbing to the knowledge that we all are leading each other to a sweeter life with you and your son.
My hope is granted by the foundation of your son, passed through sacred tradition. It is what all drives us to keep trying and to become your son’s perfect follower. I hope, Blessed Mother, that when the book of Revelation comes true, and it already has. That you will crush the head of evil itself.
Everyone has a book of Revelation in their life, Blessed Mother, and this May Crowning is one of mine. I claim it, and I own it. I’ve never had such desperation in my spiritual life. Each year, I watch the 8th-grade class of our school read a phenomenal piece of their writing with their devotion to you, and I always hoped that I could write a piece that was just as phenomenal.
Though, Blessed Mother, if any of my classmates were to receive such an honor as this. I would feel no envy. I believe that we should all strive for such an opportunity, yet some are reluctant to try. However, in the Beatitudes that your son gave us, He stated, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” They’re in my intentions and I commission this to you.
John Paul II commissioned the world to know that you are the queen symbol attributed as the perfect follower of your son, who is the absolute crown of creation. Thus, to be the crown of creation is to be superior to all human life, and you, with the Holy Spirit, brought that superior to life.
Your son, the Father, and you are scored on my heart, Blessed Mother, from the very beginning, from the waters of my baptism till what I hope is the rebirth to eternal life. Your son, Blessed Mother, will save our souls from the fires of hell. He will return as a lion pouncing, ready to defeat the evil in this world. Yet, Blessed Mother, what I hope to see at the outset in heaven is you and my mother guiding my hands and writing the beginnings of my eternal path. Amen
