Our psalm today declares: "The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power….The Lord has made his salvation known: in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice. He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel.” The Lord’s saving power was revealed in a new covenant with his Son Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, whom we celebrate in a special way during the Easter season. May is also the month of Mary. Many Catholics around the world celebrate a May crowning, in which flowers is present to an image of Mary, celebrating her title of Queen of Heaven and earth. May has been Mary’s month since the medieval period. In the month of May, the winter season ends and the season of spring starts a new cycle of growth. With these new beginnings, we express our gratitude and devotion to Mary. In a special way, let us ask for Mary’s prayers and intercession during the entire month of May.
