Our celebration today and the whole of October invites us to meditate upon the mysteries of Christ, following the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who was singularly associated with the incarnation, passion and glorious resurrection of the Son of God.
“The Angel Gabriel brought Good’s message to Mary, and she conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
“His mother stood beside the cross.”
“Rejoice, O Virgin Mother, Christ his risen from the dead, alleluia.”
(Antiphons from the Vespers of the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary)
“Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”
