Spring is finally in full bloom! The month of May is the month of Mary. A tradition in May is to "crown Mary" either physically during a Liturgy or private prayer service or figuratively in your heart. What does it mean to "crown Mary?" When we crown Mary, we acknowledge her role as Queen Mother and powerful intercessor to her Son, King Jesus. If you have an intention your heart is dwelling on, I encourage you to "crown Mary" with that intention, giving her Queenly power as your intercessor in Heaven.
