For centuries Catholics have fostered a special devotion to Mary during the month of May. What child in his or her Catholic school or parish hasn’t been mesmerized by the solemnity and sweetness of the annual May Crowning? I know I was.
More than four decades ago, I was a towheaded, scrawny, overly energetic little boy in a Catholic grade school, squirming in the pew, totally distracted by the other little boys on my left and right. I found it impossible to comply with the teacher’s demands that I be quiet and still as she explained that we were going to pray the rosary and crown the statue of Our Lady because, as she explained, the month of May was Mary’s month.
