Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pilgrim of Our Lady of Martyrs (Little Messenger of the Sacred Heart), Vol. 8: An American Monthly Magazine of the Popular Literature of Catholic Devotion; Eighth Year; January-December, 1892 Although we are not apt to consider our rulers more than mortal, or to treat them for demi-gods, as the degenerate Romans did, it may help to remember that the very words-king and Queen - mean one of our kin, chosen of our race, the son or daughter of a tribe or people. Our king and queen then must have our nature, and be of our race, members of the human family like ourselves; and this is so true, that their very elevation to the highest rank re ects a real dignity on the family from which they are chosen. That dignity is a share by descent in the blood royal. In calling Mary Queen we implicitly call ourselves her subjects; to honor her with that high dignity is to proclaim our own nobility.
