May 31 – Blessed Virgin Mary

Visitation.jpg

listenWonderful Lord, on the Feast of Blessed Virgin Mary’s visit with Elizabeth, we are reminded that You are a God of joy and that You always fulfill Your promises.  I ask the Blessed Mother to intercede for me when I feel discouraged, so that my soul may always magnify You, O Lord.  May she remind me of Your promises and Your faithfulness when the difficulties of life cover me with darkness.  Give me a spirit that rejoices in You, my Savior, for all the great things that you have done for me and will continue to bestow upon me, simply because You love me.  Thank You for all You have done and will do!  Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for me.  Amen.
