Mary, my loving Mother, is to you that I entrust them to be their helper and guide.

The humble and the little ones
are the object of her most divine solicitude.

MAY - "Behold Thy Mother"

In May, the month of Mary, I have gathered images that honor Mary, our Spiritual Mother.
The Church, both in the East and in the West, teaches that when, from the cross, Christ gave his Mother to the beloved disciple He gave her to each one of us:
"Behold Thy Mother."(Jn 19:36-37)
Through baptism into the body of Christ, we are made one, and, because of this divine mystery, Mary can love each one of us as her own.
The artists saw Mary as the all-beautiful to whom we owe our love and our obedience. The artist of this tiny holy card expressed that belief. It is hand painted with inlay of mother of pearl. The flowers are symbolic of the gifts we offer to her. Placed above all others is the rose, the symbol of love; the lily symbolizes the purity of heart to which we strive, and the pansy symbolizes remembrance. To remember Mary, simply to say her name with the love that belongs to her as our mother, is a blessing beyond imagining.

He calls his faithful, and like a tender father he feeds them.

The Tree of Life is their refuge.

God watches over the lilies and the birds.

He watches over you.

O My Savior give me wings like a dove,
and I will fly and take part in this precious Chalice 

where one tastes a holy and delicious and intoxication

Bread of our Soul

Come, eat the bread prepared for you.

How pleasing are your tabernacles, Lord God of Hosts.

Look at the little birds of heaven they neither sow nor reap.

Happy are those who quench their thirst

at the Source of Life.

Jesus, true bread of life.

Heavenly Nurture

With this divine nourishment, go through life;
you carry within you the power of Jesus Christ.

Like little birds, let us hasten to Jesus; 

He will give us the Bread of Angels.

Basset

The thought of the cross changes thorns to roses,

Our Goal, our home, our purpose...

Each soul must do homage to God for the gift it has received.
