The Colorful Mother of Our Savior

St. Mary's, Bellevue, NE, 6th Grade

 

         I think this picture of the May Crowning of Mary really reflects the Blessed Virgin. How I think this reflects her is that she was truly a beautiful flower. Flowers bring life to the world, and Mary brought not only the Savior of our sins into the world but, she brought the guidelines on how we should all act. She taught us that we can trust God no matter what comes frightening to us. She taught us that we should be kind and carry out our mission to serve the Lord whatever he asks us to do. Mary followed the way of God by carrying out her part in God's plan so that we may return to him and the Holy Mother. Flowers are also colorful and beautiful. Mary didn't have to be pretty in her face features but, she is the most beautiful in the actions and responsibilities she decided to take so that we could be saved by her son. And this is why Mary the  Blessed Virgin is a role model to me.    

We Honor Mary

St.Mary's, Bellevue, NE

6th Grade

   At my school, we honor Mary with a May Crowning. Students place beautiful bouquets of flowers in front of a statue of Mary. Then, the eighth-graders place roses in vases. After we do this, everyone sings Ave Maria. I think this is one of my favorite things we do in church because it's very pretty. It feels very holy in the church after we crown Mary, and I think that's a very nice time to pray. To pray for guidance, and to pray for compassion.

My Topic on Mary

St.Mary's, Bellevue, NE 6th Grade

   I look up to Mary because she never said no to God. She didn't refuse when Gabriel came down and told her she was having the Savior. Or when Jesus was going to be crucified. She never lost hope in God, even in the roughest times. She is amazing and a phenomenal role model. 

Mary In All Of Her Grace.

  This photo of Mary  is my favorite because of what it represents. In this picture, it shows the many miracles of Mary and also how she helped many people believe. I never really understood what was happening in the photo until, a few years ago. I love how her eyes and mouth are Juan Diego presenting the roses to her. I also think that the angels as her veil are very pretty and graceful. Mary looks very elegant and the artist did a very nice job to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary. 

Sacred heart of Mary

St.Mary's Bellevue, Bellevue, NE, 6th grade

 

        The Sacred heart of Mary is one of the most inspiring picture I ever seen. When I see that picture it remind me how much Mary loves me and each of her children. This picture remind each and everyone of us the way Mary is loyal to God, and how she is always with us. No matter what kind of problem I'm in when I think of Mary, she comforts me and gives me courage to face that problem. Mary is one the good role model we should look up to. In the way she said yes to God may we say yes to the Lord by following Mary's example.     

May Crowning

St. Mary's Bellevue, Bellevue, Nebraska 6th Grade 

     During the month of May we go down to church and have a May crowning ceremony for our Lady of the Runways. Since First Communion, and Confirmation are the sacraments received before May crowing the 2nd, and 8th Grade put the crown on Mary. During the ceremony everyone sings Immaculate Mary and the crown is placed on Mary during that time. When the ceremony is finished the 2nd, and 8th Grade go up by the statue and we take pictures of the Mother of God. After the pictures are taken the rest of the school has one person from each grade take up a collection of flowers and place it by the feet of Mary.  

Mary in May

      Mary is very important and should be recognized in all catholic schools. She is very holy and is the Mother of God. She should be prayed to for help and she passes all prayers to God. Mary was chosen to be the Mother of God and was always a follower of God himself. Mary was there when Jesus died on the cross and was assumed into Heaven. She is all over the world and we should pray to her in everyday life.   

Mary in May

St. Mary's Bellevue, Bellevue, Nebraska 6th Grade

The Virgin Mary knew the weariness of the journey. She knew she had to do what ever it would take to keep her own child safe. With everything she had done she was grateful for a safe home protected by God. Mary was devastated when Jesus had wondered into the temple of the Lord. She had known that he would love to worship God at any and all costs but she still loved to make sure he was still there. She let out a sigh of relief as she saw him all safe and sound in the temple preaching the Word of God. Like the Virgin we are called to act with justice and to love our foes just as much as our friends. We are called to respect God and all of his creations and works. Love and care about others just as the Blessed Mother did.  

Mary's Crowning

St. Mary's Bellevue, Bellevue N.E., 6th grade

    Every May our school crowns the Blessed Virgin Mary. The crowning of Mary symbolizes when Mary was crowned by angels rising up body and soul into Heaven. Mary ascended to Heaven just like her son (Jesus) did. Mary is the Mother of our Savior Jesus Christ and also when Mary came into Heaven, God made Mary the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Since Mary believed in God the Father, she was rewarded for her faith in him,Mary was with her son again.

This is a photo of Mary taken at our school church. At St. Mary's, we celebrate Mary with May Crowning. During May Crowning, we put a crown on Mary, and fill vases with flowers from each class. During the procession, we sing "Ave Maria" and "Immaculate Mary." This is our way of honoring Mary here at our school.
