This Feast is celebrated every year on August 22.
With the certainty of faith we know that Jesus Christ is king in the literal, and absolute sense of the word; for He is true God and Man. This does not, however, prevent Mary from sharing His royal prerogatives, though in a limited manner; for she was the Mother of Christ, and Christ is God; and she shared in the work of the Divine Redeemer, in His struggles against enemies and in the triumph He won over them all.
From this union with Christ the King she obtains so eminent a status that she stands high above all created things; and upon this same union with Christ is based that royal privilege enabling her to distribute the treasures of the kingdom of the Divine Redeemer.
And lastly, this same union with Christ is the fountain of the inexhaustible efficacy of her motherly intercession in the presence of the Son and of the Father. Without doubt, then, The Blessed Mother possesses a dignity that far transcends all other creatures. In the eyes of her Son she takes precedence over everyone else. In order to help us understand the preeminence that the Mother of God enjoys over all creation, it would help to remember that from the first moment of her conception the Holy Virgin was filled with such a plenitude of grace as to surpass the graces enhancing all the saints.
