MAY:
The Month of Mary
|
The month of May is the "month which the piety of the faithful has especially dedicated to Our Blessed Lady," and it is the occasion for a "moving tribute of faith and love which Catholics in every part of the world [pay] to the Queen of Heaven. During this month Christians, both in church and in the privacy of the home, offer up to Mary from their hearts an especially fervent and loving homage of prayer and veneration. In this month, too, the benefits of God's mercy come down to us from her throne in greater abundance" (Paul VI: Encyclical on the Month of May, no. 1).

El mes de mayo es el "mes que la piedad de los fieles ha dedicado especialmente a la Santísima Virgen", y es la ocasión para un "emocionante tributo de fe y de amor que los católicos de todas partes del mundo [rinden] a la Reina del Cielo. Durante este mes los cristianos, tanto en la iglesia como en la intimidad del hogar, ofrecen a María desde su corazón un homenaje de oración y veneración especialmente ferviente y amoroso. También en este mes llegan los beneficios de la misericordia de Dios. nos descienda de su trono con mayor abundancia" (Pablo VI: Encíclica sobre el mes de mayo, n. 1).
