Ego enim accepi a Domino quod et tradidi vobis
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you
"It is the priest's own self-sacrifice which grants him the great privilege to perform the noblest act known to man, which is worshipping God through the Eucharistic Sacrifice."
Mary, Queen of Priests pray for priests. A Confraternity was erected in Mechelen Diocese in 1926. Probably no coincidence that 1926 the Holy Office supressed the devotion to "Mary Priest" which had grown up in Belgium declaring that "it is not approved and may not be promoted" and "Mary Queen of Priests" was proposed as a an alternative to the Faithful. Almost uniquely Mary carries the chalice in her hand, perhaps a memory of the older erroneous devotion.
