October is the month of the Holy Rosary
Reflections on the Rosary
Dear friends,
You may well be aware that on each 13th evening of the month, come rain or shine, a hardy group of parishioners gathers in the centre of Enfield Town to pray the Holy Rosary.
We do so without any pomp and ceremony and minus the use of a loudhailer. The important part of what we do is to simply pray. I have noticed that people who are not necessarily part of our number join us from time to time. They are most welcome, remembering the words of Our Lord in the Gospel: ‘He who is not against us is for us.’ (Mark 9:40 and Luke 10:50) And that old adage: ‘the more the merrier.’ By the way, I just tried to look into the background of that saying, but it seemed a little convoluted, so I will leave it for now.
In this month of the Rosary, the 13th evening falls a week on Tuesday. The significance of the 13th day is connected with the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima. So, once again, on the 13th evening of this month, we will gather at 7 pm in Enfield Town. You are most welcome to join us for the gentle act of prayerful witness.
The Holy Rosary is such a powerful means of prayer and spiritual reflection. When we pray it we go in spirit to Nazareth, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Mount Tabor, the Garden of Gethsemane, the empty tomb and even into the courts of heaven. Mary leads us there, for she will always lead us to her glorious Son.
If you are not familiar with, or have become neglectful of, the Rosary, why not use this special month of October to work on this. The Rosary will never disappoint us. It is prayed each weekday in OLSG at 11.30 am.
With all good wishes,
Father Daniel
