THE ROSARY

Like in any other Catholic communities, the Feast of the Holy Rosary is celebrated also during the month of October in our town. It is Mother Mary's favorite Festival, the Rosary being her precious garland of prayer.

Regardless of what other believers claim, we cannot deny the fact that Mary is the Mother of Jesus because even as man, Jesus never for a moment loss His Divinity. Mary was conceived without sin that is why she is "blessed among women" for if not how could she conceive God in her womb.

Mary's intercession is very important, likewise her intervention in our affairs. God cannot deny Mary's request as proven during the wedding at Cane. Jesus wasn't yet ready to perform a public miracle but when Mary "requested" He quickly transform water into wine. In exchange to her continuous intercession in our behalf, all that she request is for us to pray the Holy Rosary. The Rosary makes her very happy.

For several occasions Jesus called Mary, woman. First, when He was lost in the temple; second, during the wedding at Cana; and third during the crucifixion, just before He died. "Woman, behold your son", "Son, behold your mother". Ever since, Mary became our mother. She became responsible for us but we must also do our duty and responsibility to her.

On top of all goodness, graces and care, she asks nothing in return but a garland of prayer... The Rosary.
