On the Feast of Our Lady Queen of Apostles

I was listening to the talking heads when the papal election was happening, and I heard one woman say that in the early Church, women were not permitted to receive the Holy Eucharist. This is revisionism, and shows the utter hatred of Our Lady in this day and age. Here is a painting of Our Lady receiving communion from Saint John. She was the first lady to partake of the Blessed Sacrament.

Here is your quote for the day:

God had just revealed the entire creation to Mary as it happened, and she witnessed it as if she were an eye witness. God said to her that He wished to adorn and beautify her in a manner worthy of their deign.

The Incarnation (Book I, Chapter VII, #73.)

On hearing these words the most Humble among the humble abased and annihilated Herself in the presence of the Most High more than can be comprehended by human power. Entirely submissive to the divine pleasure and with entrancing modesty, She responded: "At thy feet, O Lord, lies the dust and abject worm, ready is thy poor slave for the fulfillment of all thy pleasure in her. Make use, O eternal Good, of this thy insignificant instrument according to thy desire, and dispose of it with thy right hand."
