The flower of our hearts through Mary to Jesus

"Never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided..." are not poetic lines, but lived realities of countless faithful.Fr. Prabhu invites us into the heart of May - the Church's Marian month - not as a duty, but as a relationship of love. He reminds us that this tradition, rooted since the 13th century, flows from a simple insight. Just as creation offers its beauty in full bloom, we too are called to offer our best to God through Mary. Through traditions like Flores de Mayo, we see how simple gestures like offering flowers become powerful expressions of the heart. Each flower we offer carry something personal. It could be our struggles, gratitude, wounds, or hopes. Henceforth, Fr. Prabhu leaves us with a question: what is the "flower" we will offer this May in expression of our prayer and love? Because through Mary, even the smallest offering reaches Jesus.- Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. Antony Prabhu, C.Ss.R. (2 May 2026)
