HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD, PRAY FOR US
Pope Benedict has told us, "The Rosary, when it is prayed in an authentic way, not mechanical and superficial but profoundly, it brings, in fact, peace and reconciliation. It contains within itself the healing power of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, invoked with faith and love at the centre of each 'Hail Mary.'"
If every registered family in the parish prayed three rosaries during the month of October, together, we will have prayed 178,716 Hail Marys!
Let us all pray for Mary's intercession and protection over our community as we pray together:
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst 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.
