Our Lady Virgin an Queen

Today the Church calls us to celebrate the Blessed Virgin Mary Queen - or sometimes called Our Lady Virgin and Queen (as in my 1962 Missal). I notice (with some confusion) that the Anglican Breviary does not include the festival of Our Lady Virgin and Queen.

On a personal note, this morning while saying Mass I was praying about a number of things. First, I have been considering joining the Society of Mary. Somehow I cannot send the Application for Membership away. Maybe I am just not a joiner. Second, I found the statue of Our Lady (on the left) at the bottom of a cupboard in the vestry. I cannot quite work out how I missed it before. So I have replaced in its rightful place. It is not a cheap mass produced statue either - the artist signed the back. Loxton has a number of original artworks, most noteably the Stations of the Cross. They are know as the Loxton Stations and there is a copy is a cathedral somewhere in England. SO I was praying and I wondering why the statue of Our Lady was hidden in the cupboard.

BTW: I found the following article on Wikipedia on the Society of the Holy Cross.
