CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: “May is Mary’s Month” – Cardinal Donald Wuerl (2012)

Catholic, Catholic Faith, Faith Links, Headlines, Mary, May - Month of Mary
Immaculate Heart of Mary

“During the month of #May, we celebrate many Catholic traditions and customs. May processions, the recitation of the rosary, Marian sodality celebrations and seeking the intercession of #Mary on Mother’s Day are all part of parish life. Also during May, we celebrate the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin (May 31). In your family, you may even plant a Mary garden. The tradition of linking Mary and the month of May dates back to medieval times.

Throughout Christian history, devotion to Mary represents and manifests the Christian recognition of the intimacy of the bond between Mary and her son Jesus and her unique and determining role in the unfolding of God’s plan. We Catholics do not worship Mary, but we truly venerate her because she is Mother of Jesus, the Mother of God, the Mother of the Church and our mother. …”

CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: [‘So that He may give Eternal Life to all You gave Him;’] Against the Heresies, IV,14 (SC 100, p.537 rev.) – Saint Irenaeus of Lyons/ DailyGospel

Holy Trinity and Scenes From Scripture

“… If #God requests man’s service it is so that he who is good and merciful might grant his blessings to those who persevere in his service. For, if God has no need of anything, yet man has need of communion with God. The glory of man is to persevere in the service of God. That is why our Savior said to his disciples: “It was not you who chose me but I who chose you” (Jn 15,16). Thus he showed that it was not they who glorified him by following him but that, since they had followed the Son of God, they were glorified by him. ‘Father, I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory’ (Jn 17,24).”

CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: “Letter on the Occasion of the IV Centenary of the Death of St. Philip Neri” – Saint Pope John Paul II, 1999

View of St. Peter's Basilica at Vatican from River

“… The loving figure of the ‘saint of joy’ even today still maintains intact that irresistible charm that he exercised on all those who drew near him to learn to know and experience the authentic sources of Christian joy. Leafing through the biography of St Philip, in fact, one is surprised and fascinated by the cheerful and relaxed method he used to educate, supporting each person with fraternal generosity and patience.

“… as they were looking on,
He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him from their sight.
While they were looking intently at the sky as He was going,

They said, ‘Men of Galilee,
why are you standing there looking at the sky?
This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven
will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.'”
