Dominican House of Prayer

The month May is usually dedicated to Mary. We offer flowers as we pray the rosary in a tradition we call Flores-de-Mayo. This also becomes an opportunity to catechize children.

I remember as a child, my cousins and I would knock at the gate of a friendly neighbor who allows us to pick flowers from her garden every afternoon on the way to the nearby chapel. In procession, we would offer these flowers to our Lady after we have prayed the rosary--proud and joyful that we have once again showed our love for her. After the prayers, we were also excited about the snacks.

How about you? Do you have fond experiences of Flores-de-Mayo?

As we conclude this month, let us feast our eyes on these flowers at the Dominican House of Prayer garden and recall the beautiful promises of our Lady to those who faithfully pray the Rosary.

NATIONAL CONSECRATION TO THE DIVINE MERCY
(From CBCPNews)

Most Merciful Jesus,
You are the Face of the Father’s Mercy.
Out of mercy you have called us.
To be merciful like the Father
is the mission you have entrusted to us.

With complete trust and
confidence in your boundless ocean of love,
we consecrate ourselves entirely to you
and place ourselves
under the protection of your merciful care.
We unite ourselves to your perfect offering,
with the Holy Spirit, to the Father,
that we may be completely transformed into Your Mercy.

Have mercy on us
for the wars among nations
and terrors with which we harass one another.
Have mercy on us
for the widespread sins against truth
and gruesome sins
against justice and human brotherhood.
Have mercy on us
for the blasphemies to which Your Divine Mercy is subjected to
and the abominable mockery of the weak and the poor.
Have mercy on us for
the abuses against human dignity,
sins against life, love and family.

Help us, O Lord,
that we may reflect Your Mercy to those around us.
Guard us as your possession,
that in difficult moments we may not despair,
but with great confidence
submit ourselves to your holy will.

Make us instruments of consolation to others
who have lost hope and do not trust in Your Mercy.
May all people come to know Your unfathomable mercy,
trust in your mercy and glorify Your Mercy forever and ever.

Jesus, King of Mercy,
we trust in You.
We are all yours.
Amen.
