Honor Our Blessed Mother
For centuries, the Catholic Church has set aside May to honor Mary, Mother of God. May is traditionally associated with spring, a season of rebirth and flourishing. This aligns with Mary's role as the "Mother of God" and her connection to the new life brought into the world through Jesus. Early Christians adopted the month to honor Mary, seeing her as a symbol of new life and spiritual motherhood.
Devotion to Mary is an important part of the Catholic identity. As our mother, she is an example of a committed "Yes" to the will of God. Because of their devotion to her, many people ask her for help in the most challenging moments, as any child does with his mother. The ways Mary is honored in May are as varied as the people who honor her. The month of May begins with a memorial to Our Lady's dedicated husband, St Joseph, and it will conclude with a feast day of her visit to her cousin Elizabeth.
​
This month is appropriate for Marian prayers and devotions, including the rosary, Memorare, Hail Mary, etc. We also honor our Blessed Mother with a special May Crowning this month.
