We arrive at the month of Mary, for many the most beautiful month of the year, beautiful like the heart of the Virgin. Immersed in the holy year, 2016 stimulates us even more to think and talk about the Virgin Mary. Indeed, this is their month because "they invite our hearts to open in a unique way to Mary" (John Paul II, May 1979) During this period we remember the words of Pope Francis about Mary, Mother of Mercy.

We arrive at the month of Mary, for many the most beautiful month of the year, beautiful like the heart of the Virgin. In the middle of the year of mercy, May encourages us to think and talk even more about the Virgin Mary. Indeed, this is their month because "they invite our hearts to open in a unique way to Mary" (John Paul II, May 1979) During this period we remember the words of Pope Francis about Mary, Mother of Mercy.

Thus, the Holy Father prays that the sweetness of his gaze may accompany us in this Holy Year, so that we can all rediscover the joy of God's tenderness "because no one like Mary has known the depth of the mystery of God made man." The Mother of the Risen Crucified entered the sanctuary of divine mercy because she participated intimately in the mystery of his love.

"God wants us to have nothing that does not pass through the hands of Mary" (Saint Bernard)


At the foot of the cross, Mary together with John, the disciple of love, witnesses the words of forgiveness that come from the mouth of Jesus. The supreme forgiveness offered to those who crucified him shows us how far God's mercy can go. Mary testifies that the mercy of the Son of God knows no limits and reaches everyone without excluding any. Let us direct the ancient and always new prayer of Salve Regina to her, so that she may never tire of turning her merciful eyes to us and make us worthy of contemplating the face of mercy, her Son Jesus.

In this month of May, month of the Virgin Mary, let us remember her as the bridge between us and Jesus, with great faith, remembering that she is also our mother.
