Mary is Mother – your mother, my mother, everyone’s mother – and because she cares for all of us day-in-and-day-out without fail, interceding for us in even the tiniest matters.

Pope Francis has spoken several times recently about praying the Rosary. “The month of May is approaching, a time when the People of God express with particular intensity their love and devotion for the Blessed Virgin Mary”.

Noting that it is common for families to pray the rosary together during the month of May, he said restrictions in place in many parts of the world due to COVID-19, “have made us come to appreciate all the more this family aspect, also from a spiritual point of view. For this reason, I want to encourage everyone to rediscover the beauty of praying the Rosary at home in the month of May,” he said, explaining that it can be done either as a group or individually based on people’s circumstances, but “making the most of both opportunities..”

Early next week, we will share with families, a prayer resource for the students to work through.  We encourage families to pray with their children every day.
