Month of May

The Month of May–the Month of Mary

Yes, the month of May is traditionally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This tradition has been around for centuries, with the custom of dedicating May to Mary beginning in the late 13th century.

May is often associated with the renewal of nature in the spring, which mirrors the new life brought into the world by the birth of Jesus.

The Church sees Mary as a pivotal figure in the story of redemption and May is a time to reflect on her role in the salvation of humanity. May is a time for Catholics to offer special prayers and acts of devotion to Mary seeking her intercession and guidance.

“May the Mother of Jesus, our mother, always smile on your spirit, obtaining for it, from her most holy Son, every heavenly blessing.”
