Ave Maria Meditations
The three divine Persons solemnly placed on Mary’s bowed head a splendid gleaming crown of glory which far exceeds in beauty any crown that ever has been or ever will be awarded to a creature of God.
At the same time a Voice sounded from the throne saying: Our beloved and chosen one among creatures, Our kingdom is yours. You are the Queen and Sovereign of the Seraphim and all Our ministry angels and of all the created universe. We give you power, majesty, and dominion over it.
While filled with grace beyond all others, you humbled yourself to the lowest place in your own estimation. Receive now the supreme honor which you deserve and participate in the sovereign power exercise by the Divinity over all that Our omnipotence has created. From your royal throne you shall rule over all on earth and nature. Our own will shall ever be ready to accomplish your will. You shall be the Protectress, Advocate and Mother of the Church militant.
Whenever any other children of Adam call upon you from their hearts or serve you, you shall relieve them and help them in their labors and accessories. You shall be the friend and defender of the just and of Our friends. All of them you should comfort, console, and fill with blessings according to their devotion to you. Therefore, We make you the treasury of all Our graces. In your hands We place the distribution of Our grace and blessings. We wish nothing to be given to the world that does not pass through your hands. And We will refuse nothing that you wish to grant. Whatever is Ours shall be yours, just as you have ever been Ours. And you shall reign with Us forever.
