The month of May is traditionally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a tradition that dates back at least 700 years. A time of springtime and renewal in the Northern Hemisphere where the tradition began, May is a suitable time in which to honour the Blessed Virgin who brought life into the world by giving birth to her Son, Jesus, Who brought about a new spring.
Prayer in Honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Hail Mary, White Lily of the Glorious and always serene Trinity. Hail brilliant Rose of the garden of heavenly delights: O you, by whom God wanted to be born and by whose milk the King of Heaven wanted to be nourished! Nourish our souls with effusions of divine grace. Amen. 🙏💖💐
First Friday and Saturday Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary
O Heart of Jesus pierced for our sins and giving us Your Mother on Calvary! O Heart of Mary pierced by sorrow and sharing in the sufferings of your Divine Son for our redemption! O sacred union of these Two Hearts! Praised be the God of Love Who united them together! May we unite our hearts and every heart so that all hearts may live in unity in imitation of that sacred unity which exists in these Two Hearts. Triumph, O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary! Reign, O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus! - in our hearts, in our homes and families, in the hearts of those who as yet do not know you, and in all nations of the world. Amen. 🙏💐💖
