Hello St. Antoninus,
We just had a most glorious and blessed time together yesterday at our Thanksgiving Harvest celebration. More on this on this coming weekend's Constant Contact issue.
This is a followup of the Mass announcement yesterday regarding Pope Francis' call for all Catholics worldwide to ask our Blessed Mother to intercede for world peace. He is asking all of us to pray the Rosary and fast today on the feast of our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary.
If you have already eaten your regular meals, try to fast during the rest of this day, if your health situation allows.
Consider this feast day as a mini day of recollection with Jesus & Mary.
We all know about the explosion of horrific wars in the Middle East, Ukraine and other parts of the world. In fact today marks the day last year, on Oct 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, which. started the war between Israel and Gaza and now Lebanon, and the participatioin of Iran.
Many sense that there is a hand ready to strike a deadly and demonic weapon that will start a devastating world war at a moment's notice, anytime now. All the escalating violence is leading to this. It seems that we have reached a point of no return- UNLESS Christians all unite and pray and fast for this to stop and to pray for world peace. Our Blessed Mother promised to intervene if we pray the Rosary with all our hearts in total trust.
Fr Joseph is asking all to join our parish tonight 7pm Rosary on Zoom.
Tonight is actually our last day of our 54 Day Miraculous Novena Rosary. We began this parish novena Rosary last Aug 15 on the Feast of the Assumption and this ends today on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary/ Our Lady of Victories. It is not too late for you to join our last day of this novena Rosary, particulary with today's timing of the feast of our Lady of the Rosary.
