Is the Virgin Mary the Queen of Heaven and Earth? Yes! Is it in scripture? Yes! First of all, as we all know, Jesus was part of the Davidic line. He was a direct descendant of King David himself. That being said, within the Davidic kingdom, it was the mother to the king who ruled as queen, not his wife (as he most likely had several)! We even see this played out in the books 1st and 2nd Kings as when a new king is introduced, his mother is mentioned as well. Additionally, the Queen Mother is listed among the members of the royal court whom king Jehoiachin surrendered to the king of Babylon in 2 Kings 24:12. Finally, we see the Queen Mother mentioned again in Jeremiah 13:18,20 “Say to the king and the queen mother: ‘Take a lowly seat, for your beautiful crown has come down from your head. . . . Lift up your eyes and see those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?’” This shows, clearly, that the Queen Mother was not just a figure head, she had a crown and a throne. But what about Mary, where does the Bible explicitly state that she is *actually* the Queen of Heaven? In the gospel of Matthew, when Matthew introduces Jesus, he does so in a way that intentionally mirrors the Kingly introductions we find in 1st and 2nd Kings, he doesn’t simply mention Jesus’s mother once, but a total of five times, denoting her importance as Queen Mother. Mary’s royally is again mentioned in Luke, but this time by Elizabeth when Mary goes to meet her and she greets her by titling her “the mother of my Lord” (Luke 1:43). Finally, Mary’s royalty is once again explicitly stated in Revelation 12 “And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery” (Rev. 12:1–2). Who is this newborn child? He is described as the messianic king exercising his dominion. In verse 5, the author of Revelation chose the messianic Psalm 2 to describe how this child will “rule all the nations with a rod of iron” (Rev. 12:5, Ps. 2:9). This royal son is taken up to heaven to sit on a throne (Rev. 12:5), and he ushers in the kingdom of God by defeating the devil: “Now the kingdom of our God has come, for the accuser has been throne down” (12:10). Certainly, this newborn child is the royal Messiah, King Jesus. — Catholic Answers Thusly, as she is royalty, Queen over Heaven and Earth, ruling over the universe alongside her Son, prayers, hymns, art, and the utmost respect, are rightfully due her. Ave Maria!

    Deliverance Prayers II  The Minor Exorcisms and Deliverance Prayers compiled by Fr Chad Ripperger: Breastplate of St. Patrick (Modified) I bind (myself, or N.) today to a strong virtue, an invocation of the Trinity.

5 Dubia Questions for 1P5's Steve Skojec & All faithful Catholics especially Francis is definitely Pope Cardinals, Bishops & pundits

Here are five really short and easy to answer dubia questions which hopefully aren't too complicated for Steve Skojec, publisher of the One Peter Five website, to answer. To make it really easy for the publisher of One Peter Five it has been formatted so that he only has to answer: yes or no. 1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said "The Pope... when he is explicitly a heretic... the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See." Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 2. "Universal Acceptance" theologian John of St. Thomas said "This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff." Was John of St. Thomas for saying "the supreme pontiff" must be BOTH "lawfully elected and accepted by the Church" a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 3. Do you think that a "supreme pontiff...

UPDATE: Fr. Ripperger's Prayer Recommendation for the Election: He Calls It "The Most Efficatious Prayer in Crushing Diabolical Influence In the Area of Oppression"!

During a recent interview on the Grace Force Podcast on YouTube, Exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger   provided updated information that the prayers he officially recommends  for the laity to say with regard to the election, President Trump and our country  are the two  prayers posted below.  https://youtu.be/UKrLr4jW0Eo First of all, it is very important to start by saying that the usual means of receiving merit and graces are of paramount importance. That is, remain in a state of grace, recite the rosary daily, attend Mass as frequently as possible, receiving frequent communion, and frequent confession.  Father Ripperger mentions that we should offer all these things up and ultimately to be praying for an "honest, fair, and just election"..."and "for Trump's protection."  He references his book,  Deliverance Prayers: for Use by the Laity,  and states, "there is a prayer, and this is the one that I'm going to recommend because it's the one...
