Venerable Pope Pius XII

1876-1958 Papacy: 1939-1958 Motto: Opus Justitiae Pax (The work of justice and peace) Eugenio Pacelli was born to an Italian family and served the church in many roles including Apostolic Nuncio to Bavaria. His diplomatic style was to be cautious and impartial drafting concordant (a Papal agreement aimed at preserving the Church’s privileges and freedom of action within a country) instead of confrontation. In 1939, he was elected pope and took the name, Pius XII. His papacy, covering the time of WWII and the communist cold war, was tumultuous and controversial. He sought to avoid brutal reprisals, yet saved thousands of Jews. (more than any government) In 1950, he solemnly declared that Mary was assumed into heaven, body, and soul. This is a belief held by the Church from the beginning. {website}

“The émigré Holy Family of Nazareth, fleeing into Egypt, is the archetype of every refugee family. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, living in exile in Egypt to escape the fury of an evil king, are, for all times and all places, the models and protectors of every migrant, alien and refugee of whatever kind who, whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want, is forced to leave his native land, his beloved parents and relatives, his close friends, and to seek a foreign soil."

~ Pope Pius XII

Happy Feast Day The Queenship of Mary

Feast Day: August 22

The concept of the Queenship of Mary is biblical, found in the Old and New Testament, especially in the Annunciation narratives. The angel tells her that her Son will be King over the house of Jacob forever, thus she is the queen mother. The early Church Fathers studied this concept and agreed with it. Pope Pius XII expressed it theologically in his encyclical “The Queenship of Mary” (Ad Caeli Reginam) in 1954.

"The purpose of the Feast is that all may recognize more clearly and venerate more devoutly the merciful and motherly sovereignty of her who bore God in her womb" (Ven. Pius XII, Ad. Coeli Reginam).
