The month of the Virgin

In Latin:

Cum audisset salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exclamavit voce magna, et dixit: Unde hoc mihi ut veni at mater Domini mei ad me? alleluia

For us:

When Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, she cried out in a loud voice, and said: "Whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" Alleluia.
~~~~~~~~~

This prayerful exclamation, found in Mary's Magnificat, are words given to us by Elizabeth and the Blessed Mother for our use in a trying and difficult life. We are so immeasurably blessed, that even in time of trouble, temptations, and even in outright evil, the Lord will protect us and His mother will be our mother and she will carry us to her son and beg His mercy on us, on our souls and hearts.

And then we can cry out as Elizabeth did: "Whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Alleluia!"

And our days and lives will be rich indeed! Blessed be the Lord and his most Holy Mother during this May, the month of our Mother.
