In the spirit of May crownings, this week's image is not a traditional Coronation of the Virgin, but something more "homely," a true coronation, nonetheless! This image is from the website of Mary Garden Showers, a ministry that offers showers for women in crisis pregnancies: baby showers for women who choose to raise their babies, and "blessing showers" for women who choose adoption for their children.
Please visit the Mary Garden Showers website to learn more about their beautiful and valuable service, and to support it in any way you can, whether through a donation, or by participating in a local baby shower, starting a chapter in your state or region, or simply promoting this movement through your social media networks. You can also purchase prints of this lovely picture.
From Easter to Pentecost, pray the Regina Coeli (in place of the Angelus) three times a day: morning, noon and evening.
Queen of Heaven, rejoice, Alleluia!
R. For he whom you deserved to bear, Alleluia!
Has risen as he said, Alleluia!
R. Pray for us to God, Alleluia!
Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, Alleluia!
For the Lord has truly risen, Alleluia!
Let us pray:
O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
grant, we beseech thee, that through the intercession of his Mother, the Virgin Mary,
we may obtain the joys of everlasting life.
Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
