May is a month that the has consecrated to our mother, the Blessed Mary. People pray the , crown Mary, or have a personal and special devotion to the mother of God. Also, we celebrate our Mother’s Day, and ask to Mary, our heavenly mother, to intercede not only for our mothers, but for all mothers in the world. The Blessed Virgin Mary has been present in human history through her different apparitions. , , Our Lady of Fatima, , Our Lady of the Mount Carmel, Our Lady of the Snow, Our Lady of the Milk, Our Lady of the , , , Our Lady of Knock, Our Lady of the Good Event, , Our La- dy of Good Help, , Our Lady of Hope, Our Lady of Gietrzwałd, etc., are some of the apparitions of our Blessed Virgin throughout the world. They are manifestations of God’s love to us regardless the culture, nationality, language, or race. For this reason, this month is consecrated to Mary, so that all human- kind can praise the Lord through the presence of our Blessed Mother.

In addition, May is not only a month consecrated exclusively to our mother. May 1st is the day of St. , the worker. St. Joseph, as all of us know, is the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He was always protecting her, and the child in Nazareth. With this celebration of St. Joseph, the worker, we are praying for all the work- ers around the world, and for their dignity as human beings. Let us pray for all the workers have a fair wage and all the benefits that they need. Let us pray also for many people who lost their jobs because of this pandemic or any another reason. Let us pray for many men and women who have not found any . Let us consecrate these people and ourselves to St. Joseph, the worker, so we can have a quality life with fair wages and can have a life according to the human dignity that God gave us.

Let us pray: “O Glorious Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honor to employ and de- velop by means of labor the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, never shrinking from weariness and trials; to work above all with purity of inten- tion and detachment from self, keeping unceasingly before my eyes death and the account that I must give of time lost, talents unused, good omitted, and vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thy example, O , . Such shall be my watch-word in life and in death. Amen.” – St. Pius X

May the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, the worker, be with each one of us.

God bless you!

Wonderful Readings for May 2, 2021 are your works! You know me right well" (Ps 139[138]: 13-14).

God's love does not differentiate between the newly Looking Ahead conceived infant still in his or her mother's womb and the May 9, 2021 child or young person, or the adult and the elderly person. Sixth Sunday of Easter God does not distinguish between them because he sees an Mother’s Day impression of his own image and likeness (Gn 1: 26) in 1st Reading: Acts of the Apostles 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48 each one. 2nd Reading: 1 John 4:7-10 He makes no distinctions because he perceives in Gospel: John 15:9-17
