WITH MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS

PRAYER PAUSE  


Saturday 7 October 2017, Our Lady of the Rosary


WITH MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “All these joined in continuous prayer, together with several women, including Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.” (Acts 1:12-14)



Reflection. The rosary has been a support to generations of Catholics. In times of persecuton, when any public act of worship was forbidden, they prayed the rosary in their homes with their families. Its simple repetitive way carries you into the presence of the divine. Mary is the mother of the Church and that means of each one. In the place where she is she there are no limits to her ability to reach out to each one who turns to her, as a child to their mother. She lived her vocation as “the daughter of her Son” (Dante) in a way that draws us into a desire to be with him in his mission to our world today.


Prayer. Hail Mary, full of grace, pray for us, now and at the hour. Amen.
