Deus, qui per resurrectionem Filii tui, Domini nostri
Iesu Christi, mundum laetificare dignatus es: praesta, quaesumus; ut per eius Genetricem Virginem Mariam, perpetuae capiamus gaudia vitae. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum.
​
Amen.
Mantellum Matris, "under Mary's mantle," beautifully captures our devotional approach to home education, where families entrust our homeschooling journeys to the protection, guidance, and maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Our mother's mantle is our protective covering, under which we find safety, grace, and formation in holiness.
​
Our Mother helps us in raising our children in the Faith, fostering virtues, and navigating the challenges and celebrations of God and family-centered education.
​
Let us consecrate our homes to her, imitating her example of quiet faith, obedience to God's will, and nurturing the young Jesus.
Regina Caeli, "Queen of Heaven," is one of the many titles bestowed upon Our Blessed Mother. Not only do we meditate upon The Coronation of Mary as the final Glorious Mystery of the Rosary, we find this title in Scripture:
​
"There appeared a great sign in heaven: a woman clothed with
the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown
of twelve stars." (Rev. 12:1)
How fitting that our founders chose Regina Caeli as their Patroness! As homeschooling parents especially, we must trust in Mary. Let us call to her, let us love her, let us confide in her, because she gives her all to us. We have a Mother in Heaven who is also a Queen; thus, we need to turn to her with full faith and hopefulness. Ask her for the gift of prayer, a prayer of the heart said only for love, a love for her and Jesus. Let us also ask for a consistency of prayer, to always be joined to her heart, and therefore to the Heart of Jesus. We cannot raise and educate our children otherwise.
