An Act of Consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary
Holy Mary, Mother of God and Virgin, I choose thee this day for my queen, patron, and advocate, and firmly resolve and purpose never to abandon thee, never to say or do anything against thee, nor to permit that aught be done by others to dishonor thee. Receive me, then, I conjure thee, as thy perpetual servant; assist me in all my actions, and do not abandon me at the hour of my death. Amen.

The Month of Mary

Mary's Month
O Mary We Crown Thee
© 1938 St. Basil Hymnal

O Mary we crown thee
With blossoms today
Queen of the Angels
Queen of the May.

Bring flowers of the fairest
From garden and woodland
And hillside and dale.
Our full hearts are swelling
Our glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest
Rose of the vale.

We honor and praise thee
Please pray that our hearts
Will forever be thine.
In joy and in sorrow
From thee may we borrow
A faith that is trusting
In Jesus thy Son.

Josemaria Escriva - Founder of Opus Dei: May, the Month of Mary
The month of May urges us to think and to speak in a special way about the Virgin Mary. In effect, this is her month. Consequently, this time of the Liturgical Year (Easter), and this month are a call, inviting us to open our hearts in a special way to Mary. (John Paul II, General Audience, May 2, 1979)

May is the Month of Mary - Prayers.
