May: A Month of Prayer with Our Lady
May is traditionally a Marian month, a special time to grow in faith through prayer with Mary.
As the Church continues the joy of Easter through Pentecost, our devotion to Our Lady is best lived in harmony with the liturgical year—keeping Christ and the Paschal Mystery at the heart of our prayer.
Mary’s faithful presence at Easter and Pentecost invites us to deepen our trust in God and openness to the Holy Spirit. In this spirit, you are encouraged to make May a month of prayer with Mary, especially through the daily Rosary, which draws us more deeply into the mysteries of Christ.
A Simple invitation: During May, consider committing to praying the Rosary each day, even briefly.
Prayer (for the beginning of May)
Mary, Queen of Heaven, teach us to pray with faith.
Guide us during Eastertide to grow closer to your Son,
and help us welcome the gift of the Holy Spirit into our daily lives. Amen.
