The month of May is devoted to Our Blessed Mother. It is our practice to honor her throughout the month by taking turns crowning one of her many statues on our convent grounds. Each Sister chooses a favorite hymn to sing and asks Our Lady's intercession with her Divine Son for a particular intention.

 "Praying for the souls in purgatory is the highest act of supernatural charity"
-Pope St. John Paul II  “All who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.” Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1030
 Kids say the darndest things! And children seeing Religious Sisters in habit for the first time are no exception. We’re heard it all from, “Look at the princess!” to “Is that an angel?” and “Are those elves?” But our favorite is when we hear the kids call out, “Hi Mary!” or “Look at all the Marys!” Because, as Marian Sisters, being Mary to the world is really what we are going for.
 October 2nd is the feast of our Holy Guardian Angels. God gives every person, not only the baptized, an angel to lead, guard, and guide them throughout their lives.
 Mother of God
'Mother of God, He broke thy heart That it might wider be, That in the vastness of its love There might be room for me.' -Father Faber |
