THETHETHETHE MONTH OF MARYMONTH OF MARYMONTH OF MARYMONTH OF MARY
In May of 2002, St. Pope John Paul II said,
"Today we begin the month dedicated to Our Lady, a favorite of popular
devotion. May is the "month which the piety of the faithful has especially
dedicated to Our Blessed Lady.” It is the occasion for a "moving tribute of
faith and love which Catholics in every part of the world pay to the Queen of
Heaven.”
This Christian custom of dedicating the month of May to the Blessed Virgin came
about at the end of the 13th century. In this way, the Church was able to
Christianize the secular feasts that were to take place at that time.
Using the words of Cardinal John Wright, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the
Mother of the Church and, therefore, an example, as well as the guide and
inspiration, for everyone who, in and through the Church, seeks to be the servant
of God and man, the obedient agent, of the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit, is the soul of the Church. All the activity and service of the
members of the Church, beginning with the supreme participation of the Blessed
Mother in the work of the Church, is vivified by the Holy Spirit as the body, in all
its activities, is vivified by its soul. The Holy Spirit is the Paraclete, Advocate, and
Comforter that Christ Himself sent to be our consolation in the sorrowful
mysteries of life, our source of moderation in the joyful mysteries of life, our added
principle of exaltation in the glorious mysteries of life.
So He was for the Blessed Mother, so also He is for the least of us; so also He
is for the rest of the Church, even for those who are its unconscious but
conscientious members. Wherever there is faith there is the example of Mary,
because she lived by faith as the Scriptures remind us....
If, then, piety is the virtue that binds us to the sources of all life, to God, to
our parents, to the Church, to Christ, certainly Christian piety binds us, in
grateful love, to Mary or our acceptance of Christ and of the mystery of our
kinship with Him is imperfect, partial, and unfulfilled.
During this month, Christians, both in church and in the privacy of the
home, offer up to Mary from their hearts an especially fervent and loving homage
of prayer and veneration. In this month, too, “the benefits of God's mercy come
down to us from her throne in greater abundance" (Paul VI: Encyclical on the
Month of May, no. 1).
There are many spiritual practices that are recommended in this month,
which begin with May Crowning and devotion to the Rosary, and the rest will be
continued in the next bulletin issue.
