A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the
moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Mary was crowned queen of heaven and earth. Our most beloved mother now
reigns in the court of heaven!
Imagine her joy to hear the choirs of angelic voices! Imagine her joy to
see the angels and saints praising God!
She--who carried the baby Jesus in her womb, who held Him in her arms, who
walked by His side during the Passion, who stood under His cross, who held His
lifeless body and watched Him locked in the tomb--was now crowned Queen of
Heaven, forever to reign in the court of heaven with her beloved Son.
If we remain faithful to the Lord until death, we too will receive a crown
of life. In heaven shall be found every good.
Such treasures for us in heaven! The eye has not seen, the ear has not
heard the glories that await him who serves the Lord!
Heaven is the kingdom of God. We are His heirs.
There is no more thirsting for union with God, no more longing for Him. We
will experience such intense union with Him forever.
We will never want for love again. We will know His love.
