瑪利亞是宗徒之后。因著她的使命而堪當,她完成了最偉大的使徒工作——將耶穌基督賜給世界。瑪利亞是宗徒之后,她自己也是使徒。就像耶穌基督是使徒之王,是首位使徒:天父的使徒。(Pr 1, 121)
Mary is the Queen of the Apostles. She is such because of her mission, and she is such because she has accomplished the greatest apostolate: that of giving Jesus Christ to the world. She is the Queen of the Apostles; she is an Apostle herself, as Jesus Christ is the King of the Apostles and the first Apostle himself, the Apostle of the Father (Pr1, 121).
