Mary Reigns as Queen of Hearts

Faith Fact

“Mary is Queen of heaven and earth by grace, as Jesus is King of them by nature and by conquest. It is principally in the hearts that she is more glorified with her Son. And so we may call her, as the saints do, the Queen of All Hearts,” wrote St. Louis de Montfort. The Queen of All Hearts medal is worn by the members of the Confraternity of Mary, Queen of All Hearts, established in 1899. Members live and publicize the Marian Way of Life as explained in the writings of St. Louis de Montfort. The confraternity promotes consecration to Mary, Queen of All Hearts, and its members share in all the good works and prayers of the members of the Company of Mary and the Daughters of Wisdom. The medal is heart-shaped. On the front is a design of the Queen of All Hearts statuary group found in the Regina dei Cuori Chapel in Rome.
