“Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin Mary too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did.” St. Maximilian Kolbe
Ideas of how to love on Mary this month of May:
- Place a picture or statue of Mary in your room
- Bring flowers to a Marian statue at your parish
- Pray a rosary or a decade each day
- Strive to live the virtue of humility to be more like her
- Say the “Memorare” prayer each morning when you wake up
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or sought thy 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,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
