Our Blessed Mother Virgin Mary,
This month we have come to learn more about your great love for your Son Jesus, your great love for God the Father, and most of all...the great love you have for us...your children in God's family.
Thank you for being so brave and trusting God enough to say "Yes" and be the Mother of God's only Son, Jesus.
Thank you for helping us to know Jesus better, and for helping Jesus to know us better. Thank you for taking our prayers to Him, for us.
We have prayed to you all month, Mary. We will continue to pray for you to stay near us, and help us every day of the year.
May we never disappoint you as we try to live as you did, in total trust, faith and love.
Amen
Mrs. Monteith
