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)
