Month of May, Month of Mary


The month of May is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Mother of God. As Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen says in Divine Intimacy:

It is a great comfort on our spiritual way, which is often fatiguing and bristling with difficulties, to meet the gentle presence of a mother. One is so at ease near one's mother. With her, everything becomes easier; the weary, the discouraged heart, disturbed by storms, finds new hope and strength, and continues the journey with fresh courage. Share

Blessed month of May to you, dear friend! You would love our monastic garden filled with white roses.

Our full hearts are swelling,
Our glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest flower of the vale.

Oh yes, Don Marco, I am sure I would. White roses are the ones I like the best-- a secret between Little Theresa and me!
