 Advent is the season of Our Lady. During the first Advent, Mary carried the Christ-child next to her heart and waited in joyful expectation for His birth.
 Have you ever wondered what it would be like to know Jesus as well as Our Lady knew Him? To understand and share in His life as she did?
 September 15th is the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. This title of Our Lady highlights the presence suffering and sorrow had in her life. She who never committed a sin and upon whom God bestowed the ultimate privilege of being His Mother still shared our common human experience of pain. She is not an icy and untouchable queen, distant and unreachable, but a warm and tender mother, one whose love for each of us individually has been tried and proven.
 What a beautiful month is May! As the Bridegroom proclaims in the Song of Songs, “see, the winter is past,/the rains are over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth,/the time of pruning the vines has come,/and the song of the turtledove is heard in our land.” (Songs 2:12)
 Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament The month of May is here: the month of Mother’s Day, the month of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and for this year of 2024 the month of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. What powerful and beautiful themes our Lord has given us in this present time!
 When Easter falls in such a way that March 25th, the usual date of the Annunciation, is in Holy Week, the Easter Triduum, or the Octave of Easter, the Annunciation is moved to the Monday after the Octave of Easter.
