📚 Our Lady Queen of the Angels

Our Lady Queen of the Angels is a title honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary as Queen of the angels and Mother of Jesus Christ. Because Mary was chosen to be the Mother of God and was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory, the Church honors her with a unique dignity among all God's creatures. Her queenship reflects her close union with Christ, the King of Heaven and Earth.

The title is closely associated with the Franciscan devotion to Our Lady of the Angels and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Assisi, which surrounds the small chapel known as the Porziuncola. The faithful invoke Mary under this title, asking her to guide them toward Christ and to join their prayers with those of the angels in Heaven.

Feast Day: August 2 is associated with Our Lady of the Angels and the Porziuncola; the Queenship of Mary is celebrated August 22.
Patronage: The Franciscan family and those seeking Mary's maternal protection.
