HAIL, QUEEN OF HEAVEN

HAIL, MISTRESS OF THE ANGELS

The First Council of Ephesus (AD 431) recognized Mary, Mother of Jesus, as “Theotokos”, “Mother of God”. She, who by nature is inferior to the Angels, is in dignity superior to them, because she holds the supreme dignity of being the Mother of God and as such, Mary is the rightful Queen of Heaven and the Sovereign Mistress of all the Angels.

On 13 January 1864, Blessed Father Louis-Édouard Cestac was struck with a horrific vision of evil spirits scattered throughout the earth, causing unspeakable devastation and suffering. Then, the Most Blessed Mother appeared. Mary told him that the demonic hordes were let loose in the world and that the hour had come to pray to her as the Queen of Angels, asking her to send her Holy Legions to fight and put an end to the powers of Hell.

“Mother,” said the mystic priest, “thou who art so good, couldst thou not send them without being asked?”

“No,” answered she, “prayer is a condition set by God Himself to obtain graces.”

“So, Mother,” replied he, “wouldst thou thyself teach me how one must pray to thee?”

And he received from the very own lips of the Most Blessed Mother of God the words of the prayer “August Queen”:

“August Queen of Heaven, Sovereign Mistress of the Angels! Thou who from the beginning hast received from God the power and mission to crush the head of Satan, we humbly beseech thee to send thy holy legions, that, under thy command and by thy power, they may pursue the evil spirits, encounter them on every side, resist their bold attacks, and drive them hence into the abyss of woe. WHO IS LIKE GOD?”

Father Cestac responded:

“O good and tender Mother, thou shalt always be our love and our hope. O Mother of God, send thy holy angels to defend us and drive far from us the cruel enemy. Holy Angels and Archangels defend us and protect us.”

Pope St. Pius X on 8 July 1908, declared 300 days of indulgence each time August Queen is recited. An indulgence is a means to purify the soul, through a devotion, from the negative karma that one may have accumulated during life on this earth.

TIP: “August Queen” is considered a powerful remedy against the spirits of darkness and the forces of hatred and fear. It is been reported by Catholic exorcists that, in their experience, the name of the Queen of Heaven is abhorrent to demons and it is greatly effective in all exorcisms. For this reasons this prayer is also highly recommended for energetic house cleansing. Clean your home from spooks and purify your personal karma in one swoop! This prayer will work for anyone, even non-Catholics, as long as the words are recited with respect.
