MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,
PRAY FOR US.
Welcome to a Monday about half-way through May, the Month of Mary. Mary, Virgin most powerful, pray for us. Some words from Jesus include, Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and reveal myself to him (Jn 14:23). Let's be about loving Jesus with our whole heart, our whole soul and all our strength - today. Alleluia. Christ is risen. He is truly risen.
Silence is sometimes an act of energy, and smiling, too.
(E. Leseur, The Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur, p. 166)
In addition to the saints for each day, we will invoke the ten newly canonized all week long. Mary, Queen of all saints, pray for us.
