This week I was fortunate to attend a tradition that I love, a May Crowning! It is such a beautiful way to celebrate and love Mary. If you don't have the chance to attend a May Crowning, find another way to spend special time with Mary this month. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate. Just find some quiet time to open up your heart and let her in.
When my daughter was younger, she was looking at a statue of Mary. "Mom, why is Mary wearing purple? Everyone knows she wears blue."
I smiled and said, "Well, it is popular to paint Mary with a blue garment, but we don't really know what Mary wore every day. The color of her clothes isn't important. What's important is Mary's love for God and how much Mary loves you."
Sometimes I worry people might miss out on Mary's love because they only see Mary in a certain way and don't embrace her as their own mother. Jesus wants Mary to be a part of your story. Be open to Mary's love. As she gently reveals to you her faith and how she loves God, you will discover there is so much more to loving God than you had ever imagined!
