The Scripture verse chosen for this National Day of Pray-
er may help us in these difficult times. Look at the last few
words of the citation: "...your servant is praying in your
presence this day." In these last few words, we see very
clearly that our prayer is prayed in God's presence. Since
we live in the United States, it means that God is already
present here and now in the US. All we need to do is ac-
cept that presence and put it, God's teaching, into action.
For God does not work without our actively doing the work
that God leads us to do.

Anyone is welcome to come to the church during the week of May 10
to present Our Lady with flowers. The church will be open for personal

May is Mary’s month. Throughout the Catholic world,
special devotions honor the Virgin Mary. “May Crown-

as Queen of heaven and earth.
Elizabeth greeted the Blessed Virgin, pregnant with Jesus, as ‘the mother
of my Lord’ (Lk 1:41-43). Mary is the perfect follower of Christ.
