Dear Parents,
As we continue through the Easter Season and this month of Mary, let us pray to our Blessed Mother for continued strength. We must keep our faith and be reminded of the joy of new life after a time of great difficulty, as we learned from the glory of Jesus’s resurrection. Together we can reflect on this prayer from Pope Francis:
O Mary,
You always shine on our pathas a sign of salvation and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick,who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your faith firm.
Youknow what we need,
and we are sure you will provideso that, as in Cana of Galilee,we may return to joy and to feasting
after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father
and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who has taken upon himself our sufferings
and carried our sorrows
to lead us, through the cross,
to the joy of the resurrection.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God … deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
Take care and stay safe!
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez
