Oh what a great month that May is! Spring might actually decide to stick, for one thing. But I love this month for many other reasons as well.
It's my birthday month. (YAY!)
My confirmation saint has her feast day this month.
And it's MARY month! The most beautiful woman ever born, the mother of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Catholics do not worship Mary, despite allegations of non-Catholics. We simply ask for her assistance, and honor her as the mother of Jesus, the woman chosen to give birth to Him and raise Him. We honor and respect our friends' mothers, and our own mothers; why wouldn't we honor Mary on an even higher level than that?
I plan to honor her with special devotions this month. If you need a jumpstart (beyond the Rosary), here's some info to get you started:
