Mary is the Mother of the Church, of all the members of the Body of Christ — and she is mighty to help us. We honor her on the Monday after Pentecost, May 25.
It’s so fitting that May is the month of Mother’s Day, celebrated this year on May 10. Every good mother is a good mother insofar as she is a shadow, an imitation of Our Lady, Mother of God, Mother of Mercy, and Mother of All the Living.
It's May, the month traditionally devoted to Our Lady. And Fr. Angelo Casimiro, MIC shares his conversion story and the role Mary — and Divine Mercy — played in it.
No matter our station in life, whether we work an outside job or stay home to care for children or grandchildren, whether we are physically active or homebound, we can strive to honor the Blessed Mother in our own unique way, even as simple as praying a daily Rosary for peace.

For me, this time of year will always represent a celebration of love.
It's perhaps one of the biggest misunderstandings of the Catholic faith: Do Catholics worship Mary, the Mother of God? NO! Father Mark Baron, MIC, explains.
Let’s choose to live this New Year in the company of Mary, the Mother of God, says Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle. Let’s put this very important intention right at the top of our “to-do” list!
Saint Theophanes called his friend, St. John Damascene (feast day: Dec. 4), “Chrysorrhoas” (golden stream) due to his oratorical gifts.
Want to know and love the Blessed Virgin Mary? Turn to St. Luke the Evangelist, whose feast day we celebrate on Oct. 18. His Gospel recorded some of the most important Marian moments in Scripture.
On Sept. 8, the Catholic Church celebrates the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God! This feast day is celebrated exactly nine months after the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on Dec. 8. Be sure to honor Our Lady and wish her a Happy Birthday as we look to her as our Spiritual Mother!
Come, let us, with one mind and heart, praise the Lord on this Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, Aug. 15 (a Holy Day of Obligation). Mary's bodily Assumption into Heaven is the fulfillment of God's promise to recover all gifts to mankind. The Immaculate one lived and lives as all human beings were destined to live.
