This is the month of May, when we honor our Blessed Mother Mary. Please post your petitions for this month (mass will be booked for these petitions), and join in our prayers.
Start with a Marian hymn(or more), the daily prayer, the holy rosary, the Memorare. You can add other prayers like the Catena ("the magnificent) and the litany of Blessed Mother Mary (litany of our lady of Lourdes)
Alternatively, just the hymn, the daily prayer and the Memorare, will do as well.
A daily task will also be posted each day, for the 31 days of this month, in honor of Our Lady.
DAY ONE
Hymn (can be recited or sung)
Tis the Month of Our Mother
'Tis the month of our Mother,
The blessed and beautiful days,
When our lips and our spirits
Are glowing with love
and with praise.
CHORUS: All hail to dear Mary,
The Guardian of our way.
To the fairest of all Queens
Be the fairest of seasons, sweet May.
Oh what peace to Her children
'Mid sorrows and trials to know,
That the love of their Mother
Hath ever a solace for woe.
Daily Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary during May
O most August and Blessed Virgin Mary! Holy Mother of God! Glorious Queen of Heaven and earth! Powerful Protectress of those who love Thee, and unfailing Advocate of all who invoke Thee! Look down, we beseech Thee, from Thy throne of glory on Thy devoted children; accept the solemn offering we present Thee of this month of May, specially dedicated to Thee, and receive our ardent, humble desires, that by our love and fervor we might worthily honor Thee, who, next to God, art deserving of all honor. Receive us, O Mother of Mercy, among Thy best beloved children; extend to us Thy maternal tenderness and solicitude; obtain for us a place in the Heart of Jesus, and a special share in the gifts of His grace. O deign, we beseech Thee, to recognize our claims on Thy protection, to watch over our spiritual and temporal interests, as well as those of all who are dear to us. O Immaculate Queen of the Universe, do Thou infuse into our souls the spirit of Christ, and teach us Thyself to become meek, humble, obedient, charitable, patient, and submissive to the Will of God.
May our hearts burn with the love of Thy Divine Son, and of Thee, His blessed Mother, not for this month alone, but for time and eternity. May we thirst for the promotion of His honor and Thine, and contribute, as far as we can, to its extension. Receive us, O Mary, the refuge of sinners! Grant us a Mother’s blessing and a Mother’s care, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions (mention your petition), but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Let us offer to our Mother today:
Brief but frequent prayers of love, such as:
“Mother of God, your petitions are most powerful.”
…for all generations shall call HER BLESSED…
