How can we honour Mary during the month of May?

The month of May has been dedicated to the Virgin Mary for centuries. It is a special time in the spiritual life of the Church, a month that the faithful can experience as a journey of heart and faith towards the Mother of God. To honour Mary during this month is not simply to say more prayers, but to enter into a living, trusting and loving relationship with the One who leads us to her Son. Through simple gestures, family rites, times of prayer or offering, everyone can pay homage to Mary and deepen their Christian faith. Read more...

The spiritual significance of the month of Mary

The month of May is more than just a tradition: it's a truly spiritual time, a breath of fresh air in the Christian year. From a liturgical point of view, May does not contain a compulsory Marian feast (with the exception, depending on the year, of the Visitation celebrated on 31 May), and yet the whole month is lived in a Marian atmosphere. This is the fruit of a long popular tradition, encouraged by the Church, which sees this spring month as an invitation to renew our outlook, our faith and our hearts at the school of the Virgin Mary.

This month is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Read more...

Feast of Saint Bernadette Soubirous: A tribute to the messenger of Lourdes

Every year, on 18 February and 16 April, the Catholic Church honours Saint Bernadette Soubirous, the young visionary from Lourdes to whom the Virgin Mary appeared in 1858. These dates are essential for the faithful and pilgrims who come together to pray and celebrate the humble and exemplary life of this French saint. The feast of 18 February corresponds to the date when, according to Catholic tradition, the Virgin promised Bernadette: "I do not promise to make you happy in this world, but in the next". As for 16 April, it marks the anniversary of Bernadette's death in 1879 and is the official date of her liturgical feast. Read more...
