Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are now well into the spring season.
The long winter is over and the days are
growing warmer. Birds have returned
from the south and there is a sense of
awakening all around us. We have
entered into May. May, the month we
celebrate all mothers.
It is a time of special prayer and
devotion to the Blessed Virgin, the
Mother of Jesus. In Mary, we are
provided with a model of grace,
modesty and devotion to God. She is an
example of the complete acceptance of
God’s will. May provides us with an
opportunity to reflect on the importance
of Mary in the life of the Church and in
how we are called to give God a
response
of
faithfulness
and
stewardship in our own daily lives. In
the hustle and bustle of our busy lives,
we take time this month to say the
rosary, to pray some of the beautiful
Marian prayers, to ask Mary to intercede
on our behalf and to spend a little time
in her company.

Virtue for May – Acceptance

acceptance. May we celebrate the

one another as children of God.
