Benedict XVI on the Queenship of Mary

“It (the Feast of the Queenship of Mary) was established eight days after the Assumption, to show the strong bond between the royalty of Mary and her glorification in body and soul with her son Jesus.

...
 
There is the notion that a king or a queen are people of power and riches, but these are not the riches of Jesus and Mary. The Kingdom of Christ is built on humility, service and love.
...  
May the prayers of Our Lady guide us along our pilgrimage of faith, that we may share in her Son’s victory and reign with Him in His eternal Kingdom.”

Benedict XVI, General Audience, Castel Gandolfo, 22 August 2012.
