Advent. From a Latin word that means Coming. Advent, according to the Church, is the season observed as a time for the preparation for and remembrance of the Nativity of Jesus and preparation for His Second Coming. According to St. Bernard, there are six elements of the Advent Season. These elements are described in Conference Audio #1. This audio contains two gospels and two homilies that were recorded on the eve of Advent.
But what does the Church say on this topic? Conference audio #2 explores this in detail. Advent has four Sunday masses. The first focuses on reading from the prophet Isaiah. The next two Sundays focus on the readings from St. John the Baptist. The fourth deals with reading involving the pending events of the Nativity.
Each of these readings highlight the meaning of the Advent Season. Preparing for the Second Coming of the Lord. What does it mean to prepare for His Coming? What should we do? How should we focus on this and how should it influence how we live? If possible, listen to this first Preparation Series of Audio before the actual beginning of Advent. In so doing, you’ll be able to appreciate each Advent Sunday’s Messages ever more deeply.
… And Her Time Drew Near …
When a person makes their Act of Total Consecration, it is only natural to desire to want to know Mary better. This conference is a gift to all Queen of All Hearts’ members. During this conference, the process of beginning to know Mary better, and also to understand how God sees Mary, is communicated.
This dual goal of knowing Mary better and understanding how God sees Mary is accomplished in three audio sets entitled … And Her Time Drew Near. The conference looks at the phrase from St. Luke’s Gospel within the lens of three perspectives. Listen to this conference audio set over the course of the Advent Season, and Know Mary Better, while also understanding How God Sees Mary!

Lastly, note the interesting questions within the Q&A this month (link to The Queen: Q&A page is here).
The Association of Mary, Queen of All Hearts has but one mission. To promote the reign of Jesus through Mary. Members of The Association of Mary, Queen of All Hearts practice the Marian Spirituality according to St. Louis de Montfort, and support the mission of the priests in The Company of Mary.
Members of the Queen of All Hearts desire to faithfully live their Consecration to Mary. The anchor of this faithful living of one’s Consecration is its daily renewal. The renewal produces within us the attentiveness and resolve required to learn how to do all things Through Mary, With Mary, In Mary and For Mary, as Fr. de Montfort instructs. We do this so that we do all things Through Jesus, With Jesus, In Jesus, and For Jesus.
We live this way so that Almighty God may be glorified in all that we are and in all that we do. This web site is dedicated to the members of Queen of All Hearts and those interested in practicing the spirituality as taught by St. Louis de Montfort. We hope all make use of these resources.
