Fourth Sunday of Easter
MAY THE MONTH OF MARY
Pray the Rosary
May is the month dedicated to Mary. ‘The Church’s devotion to her is intrinsic to Christian worship’. Mary plays a significant part in the Easter story. A flowering plant or a vase of flowers could be put next to an image of the Blessed Virgin and each day a small prayer or recite the rosary in her honour during this month.
O Mary., conceived without sin
Pray for us who have recourse to thee. |
