Ave Maria!— May’s Theme: Mary Most Holy
“After the Ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven, Mary continually longed with the liveliest desire, to be reunited with Him. And oh! The burning sighs, the pitiful groans that She continually directed towards Him so that He would call Her again to Himself! Without Her divine Son it seemed to Her as to find Herself in the most bitter exile. Those years in which She had to be separated from Him were for Her the slowest and most painful martyrdom: a martyrdom of love that slowly consumed Her.”
