The Vatican Dedicates Month of May to the Blessed Virgin Mary | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Vatican is continuing its busy schedule highlighting the dedication of the month of May to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Twice a week this month, a prayer and procession dedicated to our Lady is taking place in the Vatican Basilica. Honoring the Blessed Virgin in the month of May is a practice that dates from the 16th century when St. Philip Neri taught young men to place flowers at images of the Mother of God. Vicar General of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, Fr. Joseph Roesch, joins to tell us more about why the Catholic Church dedicates this month of May to the Blessed Virgin. Fr. Joseph shares in what ways his community celebrates the Blessed Virgin this month. He discusses whether he has any advice for the faithful on Marian devotions that might be helpful the rest of this month.
