00:01We'll place the crown upon the head of Our Lady.
00:06On the image of Our Lady, we see the Bishop of Chiclayo with the crown.
00:15And first, the Holy Father will offer the prayer of benediction.
00:26Let us pray.
00:32Blessed are you, Lord God of heaven and earth.
00:35In your mercy and justice, you scatter the proud and lift up the humble.
00:40In the Word made flesh and in his Virgin Mother,
00:44you have given us a sublime example of this marvelous design of your providence.
00:52Your Son willingly humbled himself even to death on a cross.
00:55He shines with eternal glory and sits at your right hand as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
01:03The Virgin chose to call herself your handmaid
01:09and was chosen to be the mother of the Redeemer and the true mother of the living.
01:15Now exalted above the choirs of angels,
01:18she reigns in glory with her Son and intercedes for all people as advocate of grace and Queen of mercy.
01:30Look with kindness, Lord, upon these your servants.
01:33As they place a visible crown on the image of Christ and of his mother,
01:38they acknowledge your Son as King of the universe and invoke the Virgin Mary as Queen.
01:46Grant that, following their example, we may consecrate our lives to you
01:51and, fulfilling the law of love, serve one another diligently.
01:56May we deny ourselves and give ourselves generously
02:01so as to win our brothers and sisters for you.
02:05May we seek humility on earth and one day be raised to the heights of heaven,
02:10where you yourself place the crown of life upon the heads of your faithful.
02:16Through Christ our Lord.
02:18Amen.
02:32The Holy Father puts incense in the thurible.
02:57And takes the holy water and sprinkles it and blesses the crown.
03:24And the Holy Father has taken the crown and now places it.
03:31Steps up on the dais and places the crown upon the head
03:37of the Immaculate Virgin.
03:55And the Holy Father now incenses the image of Our Lady.
04:02And the Holy Father now incenses the image of Our Lady.
04:06And the Holy Father, the Holy Father now incenses the image of Our Lady.
04:37Magnificat, Magnificat, Magnificat, Dominum, Magnificat, Magnificat.
