May - The Month of Our Lady

During this month of warming weather, blooming trees and flowers, and fresh, green grass, we renew our devotion to the Blessed Mother. In May, we celebrate the anniversary of the first apparition at Fatima, on May 13, and mark the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, May 31. We may crown a Mary statue with flowers or some other circlet. We may pray the rosary, recite the Angelus, or another Marian prayer. Appeals to the Blessed Mother please her Son and point to Our Savior. It is a month of great grace during the wonderful Easter season, when we also celebrate the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord and Pentecost.
