Catholic Corner - May is the Month of Mary
Mary is a hero for us all. God had important plans for Mary, even before she was born. In her teens, Mary was visited by the angel Gabriel who announced that she had been chosen by God to bear a son named Jesus.
Mary was obedient to God, and accepted God’s plan for her. As Jesus grew up, Mary cared for him just as our mothers take care of us: she made lunches for him, she consoled him when he was hurt, and made sure he learned to read and write. She was Jesus’ mother but she was also
one of his closest disciples.
On the day of his death, she bravely followed Jesus as he carried the Cross to Calvary. She would bury her son in the tomb, and then come to find it empty Easter morning.
As we say the following prayer, let us think about how Mary accepted God's plan and ask ourselves if we too are open to accepting his plan for us whatever it might be.
Prayer:
Mary, pray for us.
Pray that we are holy
and obedient like you.
Pray that we can have
the strength to follow Jesus.
Pray that we can love Jesus
as much as you did.
We pray this today and
throughout your month of May.
Amen
Mental Health Awareness Week is May 3-9
May 3-9 is Mental Health Week! The Canadian Mental Health Association of Canada (CMHA) has created Mental Health Week to create awareness and education surrounding mental health. This week’s theme is #GetReal about how you feel. Identifying and recognizing one’s own feelings is so important for our well-being. At school, we are encouraging students to open up about how they feel and reach out for support when they need it. The stigma of mental health and mental illness is very real and we are working to provide education, awareness, and support to those who are experiencing struggles.
Heavy feelings lighten when we name them and express them. When we voice our emotions, we understand them more deeply and we open ourselves up to healing. Even in times of deep worry or stress, mental health is something we can protect. We can use strategies, tools, and open conversations to support ourselves and those we love. This week and on, reach out to those you love, encourage them to share what is going on for them, and celebrate them when they get real about how they feel.
Please see some CMHA mental health resources below:
