I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Hail Mary

May Religion Bulletin Board

Mary, our mother...Pray for us.
Mary, most amiable...Pray for us.
Mary, Queen of the Rosary...Pray for us.
Mary, most holy...Pray for us.
Mary, Help of Christians...Pray for us.
Mary, Queen of angels...Pray for us.
Mary, the Immaculate Conception...Pray for us.

Hey, how many titles does Mary have anyways? You know something, I'm not sure. When we prayed a litany to Mary as a class, I chose a select few titles that the students would later illustrate (see above) and commit to memory.

I know I've quoted Don Bosco before, but his words are worth re-posting: "Remember, it is almost impossible to reach Jesus without Mary’s mediation. Therefore, entrust everything to Her, especially your soul."

In addition to thinking on Don Bosco's wise words, here is a link to the latest newsletter put out by the Salesians - it has a special focus on Mary this month too: http://library.constantcontact.com/download/get/file/1102543209049-590/MAY+2012+GN.pdf

Remember, let us pray to and emulate Mary. She is Jesus' mother...and she is our mother too.
