Popular devotion invokes Mary as Queen. The Council, after recalling the assumption of Our Lady in body and soul to the glory of heaven, explains that she was raised by the Lord as Queen of the universe, to be more fully conformed to her Son, Lord of Lords and victor of sin and death,” St. John Paul II said in this celebration in 1997.

For his part, Pope Francis left an important message on his Twitter account dedicated to God’s mother.
With God nothing is lost! In Mary the goal is reached and we have before our eyes the reason why we walk: not to conquer the things down here, that fade, but the homeland up there, which is forever,” he wrote.
