Mother Mary Honored Throughout the World

The Virgin of the Rosary
Bartolome Esteban Murillo

Wherever people truly believe in and worship Jesus Christ our Lord, there too Mother Mary, His blessed Virgin Mother, will be lovingly honored. In every language and throughout the whole world, faithful Christians praise and revere the most blessed Virgin Mary. What the holy Mother of God once foretold has now come true, for all generations call her blessed.

Now Mother Mary sits radiant with heavenly glory upon her throne in Heaven. After her divine Son, Jesus Christ our Savior, she holds the highest place. She was given this great honor because the Son of God Himself once chose her pure and virginal heart to be His dwelling place upon earth. Because of this, she became the holiest and most worthy creature in all the world.
