Mary is given the title "Queen of All Saints" because she excelled in virtue more than any other saint. As the mother of Jesus, she expressed all of his traits faithfully. In heaven, there is no greater joy for the saints than to behold their glorious Queen, Mary. As the Queen of All Saints, Mary is an intercessor who Catholics pray to for grace and holiness.

designated May 31 as the Marian feast
day to celebrate the Queenship of Mary.
Later, the Second Vatican Council
chose August 22 as the date to
commemorate Mary specifically under
the title “Queen of All Saints” as a
festive prolongation of the Feast of
Mary’s Assumption.

4. Mary is called the Queen of
All Saints because she made
the most diligent use of the
rich treasure of grace given
to her by God and excelled in
every virtue much more than
every other saint. All the
traits of Jesus were
expressed in her as faithfully
as they could be expressed
in any creature.

in choosing a virtuous and
meritorious life, so Mary
stands higher than all the
faithful in receiving glory and
reward. After God there is
no greater bliss for the
blessed in heaven than to
behold her, their glorious
Queen.

6. All the followers of God striving for
holiness are called saints. We should
pray to the Queen of All Saints for
the grace to remember that God has
created us to live a life of holiness in
this world and to become saints in
heaven. God will give us enough
grace to do this if only we have an
earnest desire for holiness just as
Mary did.

7. Holiness does not consist in heroic deeds,
but:
- in doing the will of God perfectly,
- loving God with all our heart and our
neighbor for God’s sake,
- keeping our soul from sin, and
- being united with God through prayer
and the sacraments.

9. Prayer is Power
Catholics are aware of the power of
prayer. We have the full support of
all the saints, both on earth and in
heaven, as we ask them to be our
“Prayer Warriors”. They are signs of
God’s love in thousands of different
ways.
