May is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Our newsletter is called "Thy Word" in honor of Mary's fiat, her yes to God. Let us pray for the grace to say yes! More HERE.
"Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen." |

2017 is the 100th Anniversary of the Apparitions of Our Lady in Fatima, Portugal. This is the year of Fatima. Our Lady's Center will be a site where pilgrims may come and pray before our own beautiful Pilgrim Virgin Statue permanently enshrined in our chapel and fulfill the other necessary requirements to receive a plenary indulgence. The special days to gain an indulgence will be the 13th of each month between May and October, the days on which Our Lady appeared to the three children in Fatima Portugal 100 years ago. Read more HERE and HERE. Our Lady of Fatima is the Center's patroness and protector, and we are dedicated to her and receive her constant protection. We always offer the First Saturday Masses and devotions as she requested.

Flame of Love Presentation by Anthony Mullen
Thursday, May 18th, 1:00 - 3:30 pm
OLC will be hosting a presentation on the Flame of Love Movement entitled "The Role of the Mother of God, the Flame of Love Grace, and the New Pentecost." Anthony Mullen, who was appointed by Archbishop Chaput as National Coordinator for the movement, will be the guest speaker. Learn more about the Flame of Love HERE and about Mullen HERE. At Fatima, God requested devotion to Mary’s Immaculate Heart. Now, God is offering a special grace of protection to those willing to accept, embrace and spread His Mother’s role and the power given to the Immaculate Heart and the Flame of Love that issues from Her Heart.

Traditional Latin Mass
& Pot Luck
Tuesday, May 30th, 6:30 pm
A meditative low Mass will be offered by Fr. Canisius Tah of the Church of the Resurrection in Ellicott City. Missals are provided with Latin on one side and English on the other, so it is not difficult to follow along. After Mass, we will enjoy light fare and lively conversation in the conference room. Please bring something to share if you can. Find out why Traditional Latin Mass is so awesome HERE. And HERE is an interesting perspective on the Low Mass from an eighteen-year-old Australian living in Mongolia and discerning the priesthood.

Photos from Our Annual Spring Clean Up Day
The weather cooperated, and much tidying was accomplished. Thank you to Board Member Jean Ayoub and his wife Eliana who coordinated the effort and to all the volunteers who came to tidy Our Lady's Center's chapel and grounds. We are so grateful for your help. May you be abundantly blessed for your service!

Dr. Christina Lynch Speaks at OLC
The Spring segment of the Defend Life Speaker series wrapped up with a talk and presention by Dr. Christine Lynch on connecting with millennials. Her insights were well received, and many said they came away with a better understanding of the challenges facing young adults and teenagers and the strategies and resources which are available to help. Dr. Lynch made use of our new flat screen TV for her presentation.

For Mother's Day, we have rolled out what has been called "the cart of shameless temptation!" Rest assured, however, that it is guilt free candy. The Trappistine Nuns in Massachusettes use only the best ingredients in their chocolates, fudge, penuche and munch, and they pray as they make them! This candy is truly heavenly!
