As we grieve the coronavirus, look to Mary, Mother of Sorrows
he month of May each year is traditionally dedicated in a special way to honoring Mary as the Mother of God and Mother of the Church. This year we seek the assistance of Our Lady all the more earnestly as we face together the effects of the global pandemic (COVID-19). When your heart is anxious, turn to Mary and say, “Mary, put my heart at peace.” When your mind is too busy, look to Mary and pray, “Mary, settle down my mind.” When you want to grow and deepen your life, look to Mary and beg, “Mary, just as you helped Jesus grow in wisdom and grace, help me also to advance on the spiritual path which God has laid out for me,” (from the book Images of Mary).
