Dio CheyenneThe month of May is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In 1965, Pope Paul VI wrote a short encyclical, Mense Maio, using the Month of Mary devotion to ask the faithful to pray for peace. He wrote: “For what other reason do we continually turn to Mary except to seek the Christ in her arms, to seek our Savior in her, through her, and with her? To Him men are to turn amid the anxieties and perils of this world, urged on by duty and driven by the compelling needs of their heart, to find a haven of salvation, a transcendent fountain of life” (2). As we enter the Month of Mary, please consider asking her intercessions for our wounded world.
Recommended practices to honor Our Lady during May include: praying the Rosary, reciting Litanies of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
