b_300_300_16777215_00_images_stories_Szent_Szentek_41221507_1902971153111827_7256268425352183808_n.jpgThe Blessed Virgin Mary did not grow up by  making huge sermons , to become the Queen of Heaven . By today’s standards She was not a star, She lived in a grey little village in Palestine , She lived just like anyone else . But through the fulfilment of Her everyday tasks and Her reliance on God, Her unconditional trust She grows up to become the Queen of Heaven : She accepts the Child from the Holy Spirit, accepting even that , that no-one will believe Her. Despite all the fears and uncertainties She is prepared to say “yes” : to becomes a fugitive. In Egypt although not always quite understanding , She still perseveres by Jesus: During Jesus’ public life from the beginning to the end She is there  by His side , She accompanies Him on the way of the cross , suffers with Him under the cross, and together with the apostles She receives the Holy Spirit .
