O Lord of Life, Creator of the seasons,

As May blossoms with colour and light,

We rejoice in Your promises made new.

“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest… will never cease.” (Genesis 8:22)

 

You make all things new (Revelation 21:5),

And in spring’s return we glimpse the resurrection -

The earth once bare now clothed in splendour,

Just as You clothe our hearts with hope.

 

The trees clap their hands (Isaiah 55:12),

The hills break forth into singing,

And all creation declares Your glory,

For the heavens proclaim the work of Your hands. (Psalm 19:1)

 

O Mary, mother most gentle,

In this month of May we honour your “yes,”

For in your womb grew the Flower of Jesse,

The One who brings life everlasting.

 

Let us, too, blossom in Your Word -

Planted by streams of living water (Psalm 1:3),

Rooted in grace, bearing fruit in season,

Alive in Christ, our Risen Lord.

 

Amen
