May is the Month of Mary
Spring is in the air and so is the pollen (tissue, anyone?) This time of year is full of transitions, celebrations, things coming to a close and new things on the horizon.
Mary knew what it was like to go through a lot of transition-- getting pregnant, traveling to help her cousin Elizabeth prepare for her child, having a baby in a cave, then fleeing to Egypt as a new mom!
Mary wants to attend to the details of our life. She wants to help us through anything that life throws us. This month, may we turn to Mary in the big and the small. Maybe it's offering a "Hail Mary" when things get stressful or asking her to be alongside you as you start something new.
Why is this month dedicated to our Blessed Mother?
