Excerpts from the Most Reverend Honesto F. Ongtioco, D.D., Bishop of Cubao
“My dear People of God, after a three-month and twenty-day delay we are now gathered at last for the Canonical Coronation of Our Lady of Lourdes.”
“Mary is God’s masterpiece. And this masterpiece is crowned not by jewels of men but by the very dignity that God has ennobled her not only because her Son was King but because of her fiat. She was given an important role in our redemption.”
“This canonical coronation timely takes place in the middle of this pandemic. There can be no better time to honor the Our Lady of Lourdes – the Health of the Sick – and approach her throne of mercy than in a time when the whole world is afflicted by the danger of this illness.”
“Her life is a testament to God’s faithfulness and love. Difficult as our journey may be, questioning our hearts may seem, our Mother faithfully accompanies us in every step of the way.”
“Mary is Queen. But she is also our Mother.”
“Viva Maria!”
