MAY IS THE MONTH OF
MARY
Introduction
• We have chosen to do our assembly about
May being the month of Mary
• During this month we try to go to her more
frequently and ask her for many things
• As a class we have been looking at Mary’s
prayer the Hail Mary and thinking about what
it means.
Hail Mary
• When you greet someone of importance you
often say hail
• Mary is important for Catholics because she is
the mother of God.
• Not only is she God’s mother she is our
mother in Heaven too.
Full of Grace
• Mary is the only creature on earth that was
born without sin in her soul
• For this reason she is full of grace
• Grace means gifts given by God
• Mary has many gifts: Beauty, love, peace,
patience, forgiveness to name just a few
The Lord is with thee
• Mary and Jesus are always together
• When we pray to Mary, Jesus is always at her
side
• When we pray to God, Mary is always near
Blessed art thou amongst
women
• Of all women Mary is the most Holy
• We look to her as our model
Blessed is the fruit of they
womb Jesus
• Jesus was born of Mary in a stable in
Bethlehem
• Mary said ‘Yes’ to God when he asked her to
give birth to his Son.
Holy Mary, mother of God
Pray for us sinners
• Sometimes we make mistakes
• We hurt God by the things we do and say
• But God is a loving father, he welcomes us
back with open arms
• He always forgives no matter what we have
done
• Mary prays for us, that we choose to do good
Now and at the hour of our
death
• One day our life on earth will come to an end
• At that moment we want Mary to be next to
us, holding our hand and taking us to Heaven
Amen
• This means we believe everything we have
just prayed
Holy Rosary
• This is a picture of a rosary
• It is Mary’s special prayer
• She asked three shepherd children in Fatima
to pray it often and tell others to pray
