My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask you for pardon of my sins and grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My mother immaculate, St. Joseph, my father and Lord, my guardian angel intercede for me.

Today we begin our prayer focusing on the person of our lady as our Lady Queen of Peace.

Because today on the 2nd of May we mark the anniversary of the dedication of the Church of Our Lady of Peace,

which is the Prelatic Church of the Opus Day Prelature in Rome.

St. Jose Maria decided that this church would be as it were the heart of the prelature,

the central church of the prelature.

And he also decided that it would be dedicated to Our Lady,

Our Lady of Peace, Holy Mary of Peace, or we might say Our Lady Queen of of peace so we begin our prayer by looking to you

our mother you who are queen of peace we've just begun the month of may a month which is so beautiful

so fresh so bright because it's the month of our mother.

And during this month we can, of course, contemplate our lady's person, our lady's personality

from many points of view. We can meditate on scripture, on our lady's's vocation above all her vocation as

mother our ladies privileges the different aspects of her personality our

lady as immaculately conceived our lady as ever virgin our lady assumed into

heaven our lady queen all of these ever virgin, Our Lady assumed into heaven, Our Lady Queen.

All of these privileges or all of these aspects of our lady's personality

stem from her motherhood, that you, Mary, are the Mother of God.

And in and with and through Christ, you're also our mother, my mother.

And that ultimately is why you are the queen of peace. Because Christ himself is our peace. True
