MAY IS THE MONTH OF MARY

MAY IS THE MONTH OF MARY

Introduction

We have chosen to do our assembly about May being the month of Mary

During this month we try to go to her more frequently and ask her for many things

As a class we have been looking at Mary’s prayer the Hail Mary and thinking about what it means.

Hail Mary

When you greet someone of importance you often say hail

Mary is important for Catholics because she is the mother of God.

Not only is she God’s mother she is our mother in Heaven too.

Full of Grace

Mary is the only creature on earth that was born without sin in her soul

For this reason she is full of grace

Grace means gifts given by God

Mary has many gifts: Beauty, love, peace, patience, forgiveness to name just a few

The Lord is with thee

Mary and Jesus are always togetherWhen we pray to Mary, Jesus is always at her sideWhen we pray to God, Mary is always near

Blessed art thou amongst women

Of all women Mary is the most HolyWe look to her as our model

Blessed is the fruit of they womb Jesus

Jesus was born of Mary in a stable in BethlehemMary said ‘Yes’ to God when he asked her to give birth to his Son.

Holy Mary, mother of God

Pray for us sinners

Sometimes we make mistakes

We hurt God by the things we do and say

But God is a loving father, he welcomes us back with open arms

He always forgives no matter what we have done

Mary prays for us, that we choose to do good

Now and at the hour of our death

One day our life on earth will come to an endAt that moment we want Mary to be next to us, holding our hand and taking us to Heaven

Amen

This means we believe everything we have just prayed
