In this month of May, Father Louis-Marie Parent, O.M.I., offers us a gift in the form of this beautiful and still relevant text, written in December 2000:

“The Blessed Virgin is in my prayers, isn't she the model for Christians, teaching me perfect availability, total self-giving, in the joy of the Magnificat. She shares her strength and courage with each of us, urging us to stand firm at the foot of the cross.

Life is beautiful, its decline a splendor, its culmination the beginning of eternal happiness.

Let all the elders of the earth come together, let them form a special choir to harmonize the world, let us all look to Jesus, our Master, who beats the beat, directs the rhythm, balances the voices, doses joy in the hearts and makes us the chosen ones.”

Through his great love for the heart of Mary, let us pray and contemplate together with the Founder this beautiful canticle of Mary, the Magnificat. (Lk. 1:47-55)
