Reflection of the Month - May 2005

May - A month to Celebrate and Remember

The Pieta, which depicts the Virgin Mary holding the body of her son Jesus Christ after his death, makes us think in the great love that mothers have for their children. Every time I have an opportunity to contemplate this masterpiece by Michelangelo, I think of the wonderful love that God gave us through Jesus Christ. The Virgin Mary was a chosen vessel to be the mother of Christ. Her character was always sweet and humble. I imagine all the wonderful moments that Jesus enjoyed of her tenderness and love during the first years of His life.

During this month of May we celebrate Mother’s Day. As we remember our mother let’s ask our Father above to bless, protect, and give her His love and special touch in order that we can continue having the gift of her presence in our hearts.
