00:00In ancient Israel, when Bathsheba entered the royal palace court, King Solomon rose from his
00:05throne to honor her. He placed a golden royal throne at his right hand for the queen mother,
00:09promising never to refuse her. As Psalm 45 proclaimed in sacred prophecy,
00:14the queen stands in radiant gold at the king's right hand. This ancient royal mystery found
00:19its perfect fulfillment when Christ welcomed his blessed mother Mary into heavenly glory.
00:24She who humbled herself as the lowly handmaid of the Lord was exalted above all choirs of angels.
00:30In St. John's heavenly vision, Mother Mary appeared clothed with the golden sun,
00:34with the moon beneath her feet. Upon her sacred head shone a glorious crown of twelve stars,
00:39uniting all the tribes and holy apostles. Christ the Eternal King placed the radiant royal crown
00:45upon his mother, proclaiming her queen of heaven and earth. Seated at the right hand of her divine
00:50Son, our loving Queen Mother intercedes for every child who prays. Turn with filial confidence to
00:56marry our queen today, for Jesus never refuses the prayers of his mother.
