The Month of Mary
Tomorrow we celebrate the feast of the Protection of the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, which kicks off an entire month honoring the Theotokos. How will you celebrate and honor her this month?
You can place flowers in front of her icon at the house. You can crown her head with flowers if you have a statue at home. You can reflect on her yes of the Annunciation, her service at the Visitation, think of her interactions with Jesus and St Joseph throughout their lives. You can implore her for patience throughout your day, think of her doing dishes when you're doing the dishes or folding laundry when you're doing laundry.
O Theotokos, you cooperated with the invitation offered by the Holy Spirit.
You were like a paradise planted by God and the sight of the living Tree.
We acknowledge you as having brought forth the Creator of all, who feeds the faithful with the Bread of Life.
We ask you to pray for us with the Forerunner.
With your mantle protect all people from every danger.
