Why do Catholics call Mary the Queen of Heaven and Earth? What does the Coronation of Mary mean, and what does it have to do with the crowns promised to the saints?

In this episode of Franciscan Fridays, Brother Pius and Father Luke reflect on the final two Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary: the Assumption of Mary and the Coronation of Our Lady.

They discuss Mary's queenship, the role of the Queen Mother, the intercession of Mary and the saints, and why honoring Mary does not take away from the worship owed to God.

They also explore the meaning of the “crown” in heaven—and how our cooperation with God's grace, our sacrifices, and the ways we become a source of grace for others may be reflected in the eternal reward God gives us.

And there's an incredible connection to Our Lady of Fatima: the bullet that nearly killed Pope St. John Paul II was eventually placed inside the crown of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima.

The conversation also includes a funny confession about accidentally misunderstanding the Hail, Holy Queen as a new Catholic.
