“I welcome all the English-speaking pilgrims present at today’s Audience, especially the groups from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Japan and the United States of America.  I also greet the young altar servers from Malta and their families. 

Today the Church celebrates the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  May the prayers of Our Lady guide us along our pilgrimage of faith, that we may share in her Son’s victory and reign with Him in His eternal Kingdom.  Upon all of you I invoke the Lord’s abundant blessings!”
