## [Mary, Icon of Evangelization: Queen of Heaven and Earth, Hope of the Downtrodden](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/category/articles/2016/08/15/mary-icon-of-evangelization)

 Published by [Fr. Virgilio Elizondo](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/category/articles/author/fr-virgilio-elizondo)

When I was a young boy praying the Rosary, the title of the fifth glorious mystery (*La Coronación de la Virgen Maria como Reina del Cielo*—the Crowning of Mary as Queen of Heaven) led me to visualize a beautiful woman, dressed in royal clothing and wearing a lovely crown of glowing jewels.

## [The Feast of the Assumption as the Olympiad of Christian Hope](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/category/articles/2016/08/15/assumption)

 Published by [Timothy O'Malley](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/category/articles/author/timothy-omalley)

> Glorious things are spoken of you, O Mary, who today were exalted above the choirs of Angels into eternal triumph with Christ (Entrance Antiphon, The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary)

Elite athletes exist at the edge of the possible and the physically absurd. Consider for a moment the 31st Olympiad underway in Brazil.

## [Fiat et Consummatum est](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/category/articles/2016/03/23/fiat-et-consummatum-est)

 Published by [Danielle Peters](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/category/articles/author/danielle-peters)

Tomorrow we enter into the celebration of the Sacred Paschal Triduum, the climax of the liturgical year, commemorating the Last Supper, the Passion and Death, and the Resurrection of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. This year, Good Friday falls on March 25, thereby superceding the Solemnity of the Incarnation (the Annunciation), which is normally celebrated on that day, marking exactly nine months before C...

## [Mary as Icon of Evangelization: Behold Your Mother](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/category/articles/2016/03/21/mary-as-icon-of-evangelization-behold-your-mother)

 Published by [Fr. Virgilio Elizondo](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/category/articles/author/fr-virgilio-elizondo)

I grew up in a very Marian based Christo-centric tradition. From my earliest memories I remember beautiful Marian prayers like the Memorare, the many joyful hymns to Mary, pilgrimages, beautifully decorated home altars with her image, Rosary devotions and lavish parish celebrations in her honor.
