“From my youthful years this prayer has held an important place in my spiritual life. The Rosary has accompanied me in moments of joy and in moments of difficulty. To it I have entrusted any number of concerns: in it I have always found comfort.”

                                                       ~Pope John Paul II

For Reflection:

What position does the Rosary hold in my spiritual life? Am I in a moment of joy or difficulty? Am I willing to entrust this moment to this prayer?

The Queen mother:  The next point that must be made is that every king who reigned over Israel, beginning with King Solomon, had his mother seated next to him on the throne (1 Kings 2:19; 2 Kings 15:13). She was known as the Queen Mother, and was considered the mother to all of Israel and to all those in the kingdom as long as her son was on the throne.
