Mary, Queen of the Apostles - Saturday after Ascension Thursday and 5 Sept.

Mary, the regal Mother of Christ’s Apostles and their successors, watches over missioners’ souls and persons and fortunes. She is, besides, their special Protectress and support in all that pertains to their work, because they are particularly dedicated to the cause nearest Her Heart – the salvation of the world by and through Her divine Son. Apostles accordingly have a great and double claim on their heavenly Queen; they know it and are certain that by staying close to Her, they will be kept in every way close to God. Continuing through all the ages and over all the world, this special benevolence of Mary towards Her Son’s apostles is something lavish, endless, and boundlessly maternal.
