Dear Partners in Mission,
May is the month of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Traditionally, it is a time for flowered crowns, processions, the recitation of the rosary and Marian hymns.
It is also a time for us to remember the important role Mary plays in our salvation. She is our powerful intercessor and spiritual mother. She is also Mother of the Church!
Like the early Christians and missionaries, we depend on her aid and assistance in our daily lives in a special way.
As Queen of the Missions, she is forever vigilant in our mission lands and the many, many people who live on our Indian reservations, urban centers, Black Catholic Communities and especially in our Black and Indian Mission schools.
Let us ask ourselves how we can be like Mary in assisting the Black and Indian Missions across the United States. Let us start with remembering in our prayers every day the missions and the missionaries as we recite our rosary. Let us make small sacrifices for the missions and monetary contributions to the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions or Catholic Negro American Mission Board. Please visit our Home page, www.blackandindianmission.org for more information.
May Mary be our strength, joy and peace!
God bless, Father Paysse
