I thank those who serve our community as government officials and those of our juridical system. May we continue to pray for each of them that the Holy Spirit may come upon them to lead them in wisdom and truth. As a reminder on October 20th at 8am we will offer the White Mass for all those who serve in the medical field. Please spread the word among your family and friends.
May we remember that Monday falls the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary. This is an important Marian Feast which calls to mind the importance of praying the rosary. At Fatima our Blessed Mother appeared and proclaimed: “Pray the Rosary every day, in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war.” I believe it is important that we take up the praying of the rosary especially within our families. To pray the rosary is to allow one to center upon the life of our Blessed Lord. In reference to the rosary I recommend the book, “Secrets of the Rosary,” by Saint Louis de Montfort.
Seeing that this month is dedicated to the rosary a community rosary will be held on October 13th at the outside statue of Our Lady of Fatima. If weather is bad this rosary will instead be held in the church. October 13th was the date of the closing of Fatima and is a fitting day for our parish community to join together as one in prayer.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
