Our Lady of the Rosary

How appropriate that during this month of the Rosary the Church celebrates the memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary. The Rosary is a beautiful prayer and gift that has been given to us. Here is a quote that speaks well of this great devotion: "It could be said that each mystery of the rosary, carefully meditated, sheds light on the mystery of man. 'Cast your burden on the Lord and he will sustain you' (Ps. 55:23). To pray the rosary is to hand over our burdens to the merciful hearts of Chist and his Mother. The rosary does indeed 'mark the rhythm of human life,' bringing it into harmony witht he 'rhythm' of God's own life, in the joyful communion of the Holy Trinity, our life's destiny and deepest longing. Through the rosary the faithful receive abundant grace, as though from the very hands of the Mother of the Redeemer." - Venerable John Paul II. In meditating on the rosary we enter into the lives of our Lord and Blessed Mother. We are assured of their divine presence and assistance in our lives. May we be strengthened by the motherly hand of our Blessed Mother and trust in her intercessions as we pray the Rosary. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!!!
