The Month of May
May is the month of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
What better occasion to start praying the Rosary, than the month of May! Today, you might be in the midst of preparing for your final exams, let us not forget to invoke the prayer of Our Lady, the Holy Theotokos , Our Lady of the Holy Rosary to help you succeed! To Jesus through the Blessed Virgin Mary. All of the attributes of mercy and love attributed to Mary find their ultimate source in the Lord. The unity between the Mother and her divine Son is very intimate and unbreakable.
Today, through the intercession of Our Lady, we pray that the Lord will give you the peace of mind as you prepare for this time of study. We pray that the Lord will keep you focus and keep you from all distractions. We pray that the Lord will give you insights that you might understand what you are studying and help you to remember it when the time comes. Above all, let us also thank the Lord for the ability to study, and for the many gifts and talents that the Lord has bestowed on us.
In fitting tribute to Mary, Mother of God- the Holy Theotokos, Our Lady of the Rosary, I close with the lyrics of this hymn that shows the profound connection between Mary and her son Jesus.
Mary the dawn, Christ the Perfect Day;
Mary the gate, Christ the Heavenly Way!
Mary the root, Christ the Mystic Vine;
Mary the grape, Christ the Sacred Wine!
Mary the wheat, Christ the Living Bread;
Mary the stem, Christ the Rose blood-red!
Mary the font, Christ the Cleansing Flood;
Mary the cup, Christ the Saving Blood!
Mary the temple, Christ the temple's Lord;
Mary the shrine, Christ the God adored!
Mary the beacon, Christ the Haven's Rest;
Mary the mirror, Christ the Vision Blest!
Mary the mother, Christ the mother's Son
By all things blest while endless ages run.
Amen.
