During the month of May, the Church traditionally honours Mary, the mother of Jesus. As a College named in honour of Our Lady of Mercy, this month holds special meaning for our community. Mary’s example of faith, compassion, courage, and quiet service continues to inspire us in the way we are called to live and relate to one another each day. In the Mercy tradition of Catherine McAuley, we look to Mary as a woman of hope who responded generously to God’s call and stood alongside others with love and mercy. Let us pray…
Loving God,
During this month of May,
we give thanks for Mary,
the mother of Jesus
and Our Lady of Mercy.
May her example of faith,
gentleness, courage, and compassion
guide our College community each day.
Help us to live with open hearts,
to care for those in need,
to seek justice,
and to bring hope to others
through our words and actions.
May Mary continue to watch over our
students,
staff, and families,
and inspire us to do all things
with all our heart.
Amen.
