ROSARY – Prayed every Friday at OLSM at 5.30pm on live stream from Church and Sunday afternoons at 3pm. Pope Francis has asked us all to pray the Rosary during the month of May. In a special message, available on the parish website, he has asked prayers to be added when we say pray the rosary – see the website for the texts. Pope Francis writes,
“The month of May is a time when the People of God express with particular intensity their love and devotion for the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is traditional in this month to pray the Rosary at home within the family. The restrictions of the pandemic have made us come to appreciate all the more this “family” aspect, also from a spiritual point of view. For this reason, I want to encourage everyone to rediscover the beauty of praying the Rosary at home in the month of May. This can be done either as a group or individually; you can decide according to your own situations, making the most of both opportunities. The key to doing this is always simplicity, and it is easy also on the internet to find good models of prayers to follow.
