OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY [Memoria: 7 October]

The feast was instituted by Pope Saint Pius V on the anniversary of the naval battle at Lepanto (1571). It was said that the the Christians were victorious because of the help of the holy Mother of God, invoked by the the saying of the Rosary. Today’s celebration urges all to meditate on the mysteries of Christ, following the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary who was in a special manner associated with the incarnation, passion and glorious resurrection of the Son of God.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, open our hearts to Your grace. May we who learned to believe, through the angel’s message, in the incarnation of Christ Your Son, be brought by His passion and cross, at the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to the glory of His resurrection. We make our prayer in the most precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

THE SEASON OF TRANFORMATION AND MIRACLES

Tomorrow, Sunday the 29th of November 2020, we will begin the season of Advent with words of caution and promise from the Lord. Rather than considering Advent simply as a time of waiting for Christmas, Jesus wants us to see it as a time of transformation and miracles, especially when the world is still struggling to come out of the COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

So much can happen over the next few weeks, if only we stay alert to the Spirit’s movements. God may want to remove a particular sinful foundation in our live. He may want to heal a broken relationship, turn our sorrow into joy, or answer a long-held prayer in our hearts. Whatever God wants to do, we stand a much greater chance of receiving if if we take a few steps each day that will help us watch and wait: (1) Spend enough time in personal prayer praising and thanking God for sending Jesus to forgive you and bring you into His presence. (2) Spend enough time reading Scripture and asking the Holy Spirit to write the word of God on your heart. (3) Examine your conscience and repent of anything that keeps you form knowing God’s love and reflecting that love to others. (4) Prepare a plan for spiritual growth that includes spiritual reading and participation in the life of the Church.

May God grant you a really meaningful Advent Season.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me prepare for the coming of Your Son. I want to accept the grace that He won for me. During this season of expectation, fill my heart with Your love and my mind with Your truth. Amen.
