The Church celebrates the entire month of May as a special
month in which to honor Our Lady. There are May processions, crowning’s, and
special novenas in her honor. May is bursting out with flowers - roses and
wonderful scents fill the air, reminding us of the beauty of the Mother of God.
Mary was conscious of all the many hidden realities of what
it is to be wife and mother. Her life with Jesus and Joseph was seasoned with
many ups and downs trying to create a home in the midst of poverty and social
unrest. We honor her for giving
us a holy example of motherly love in times of both joy and sorrow.
Mother’s Day is a time to show our appreciation for the
women in our lives that have likewise shown us motherly love and care.
Not only our mother who gave birth to us, but all women who have sustained us
as we’ve grown. In each loving act of our mothers, we can see the
hand of Mary guiding and bestowing favor.
I invite you to take
time today, and each day this month, to pray for the intercession of Our Mother
of Perpetual Help for your mother – that they may receive special assistance in
their vocation of being a Mother.
Let us remember all our Mothers and entrust them to the care
of Our Mother of Perpetual Help this day as we celebrate this holiday of
honoring our Mothers.
Mother of Perpetual Help, be with all Mothers this day.
Assist them with your motherly love and keep them safe from all harm!
Assist them with your motherly love and keep them safe from all harm!
