Early Morning Prayer. Thank you for this day !
The Lovely Month of May
In May, the month of Mary, we bring you 31 testimonials from people who accepted to share about their personal relationship with the Virgin Mary. Today’s story is from Farther Guillaume de Menthière.
A familiar thought comes back to me:
The most beautiful month is the month of Mary
And the only way up for our humble prayers
Is by the same way that God came down to us.
An olden thought comes back to me:
The sprightliest month is the month of Mary
When winter has rolled away the irksome cold
To reveal the springtime of a rejuvenated world.
Another thought comes to me:
The newest month is the month of Mary
When life is reborn with the scent of spring
Giving back to mankind what was robbed by Eve.
Then a decisive and final thought comes to me:
Prayer follows the path of grace;
There is no prideful soul or bleeding heart
That the Virgin cannot brighten with her gentle light.
There is no hollow or dark lonesome hole
That the Blessed Virgin cannot change into
A joyous flower-filled clearing
In the lovely month of May.
Father Guillaume de Menthière is a priest for the diocese of Paris. He teaches theology at the Paris Cathedral School and at the Collège des Bernardins. (Translated and adapted by the Marie de Nazareth Team)

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Novo Ministério na Igreja Católica - CATEQUISTA ! Ler Documento aqui.
CARTA APOSTÓLICA
SOB FORMA DE «MOTU PROPRIO»
DO SUMO PONTÍFICE
FRANCISCO
ANTIQUUM MINISTERIUM
PELA QUAL SE INSTITUI O
MINISTÉRIO DE CATEQUISTA
1. MINISTÉRIO ANTIGO é o de Catequista na Igreja. Os teólogos pensam, comumente, que se
encontram os primeiros exemplos já nos escritos do Novo Testamento. A primeira forma,
germinal, deste serviço do ensinamento achar-se-ia nos «mestres» mencionados pelo apóstolo
Paulo ao escrever à comunidade de Corinto: «E aqueles que Deus estabeleceu na Igreja são, em
primeiro lugar, apóstolos; em segundo, profetas; em terceiro, mestres; em seguida, há o dom dos
milagres, depois o das curas, o das obras de assistência, o de governo e o das diversas línguas.
Porventura são todos apóstolos? São todos profetas? São todos mestres? Fazem todos
milagres? Possuem todos o dom das curas? Todos falam línguas? Todos as interpretam? Aspirai,
porém, aos melhores dons. Aliás vou mostrar-vos um caminho que ultrapassa todos os outros» (1
Cor 12, 28-31).
