Celebrate Mary in May - Pentecost

In the days that followed the Lord's Resurrection, the Apostles stayed together, comforted by Mary's presence, and after the Ascension they persevered with her in prayerful expectation of Pentecost. Our Lady was a mother and a teacher to them, a role that she continues to play for Christians of all times. Every year, at Eastertide, we relive this experience more intensely and perhaps, precisely for this reason, popular tradition has dedicated to Mary the month of May that normally falls between Easter and Pentecost. Consequently, this month... helps us to rediscover the maternal role that she plays in our lives so that we may always be docile disciples and courageous witnesses to the Risen Lord.
