MAY DEVOTIONS


May Devotions to the Blessed Mother began locally in different places hundreds of years ago, and then spread all over the world.  May is spring time, the time of new life.  Mary is God's greatest flower, the highest of our human race.  Mary, above all, rejoices in the Risen Life of Her Son during this Easter Season (Paschaltide).  Our custom on Guam for hundreds of years is for little girls to dress as angels and throw flowers to our Lady's image.




The congregation prayed the Rosary and made the Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  We will do this every Sunday in May.
