Our Lady of the Rosary Memorial.
Well today is day 54 of the novena for our country. Faith is the message today, we do not live by the law but we live by faith. People want to see proof but that wouldn't be faith would it. Abraham was told his descendants would be as numerous as the stars. Now that sounds crazy but he had faith.
Today his descendants are as numerous as the stars. He had faith, he believed what God told him even when it didn't seem possible. Your life in Christ and the Church is built upon the same faith. Does it stand to reason saying a rosary will help our country, not by sight but by faith it does. Our Spiritual Mother Mary ask each of us to pray the rosary each day. It strengthens your faith in Christ and always points to Jesus. Have faith like Abraham, your rosary is making a difference.
Dear Lord God, you always have the words, I thank You for Your blessings. May we remember to slow down and pay attention to what Your spirit is telling us. Bring peace into this country Lord God. May each of us walk by faith that our small gestures are making an impact in the world. I entrust my future into your hands Lord, may I never forget the faith that Abraham had. May my actions speak to that faith each day. In Jesus name. Amen.
Mary, our Mother, pray for us.
54 day novena for our country day 54 - Glorious Mystery.
The Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary commemorates our Mother's faithful intercession at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. A fleet of allied Christian ships, united through Philip II of Spain and Pope Pius V, were victorious against the Ottoman Turks who were trying to solidify their hold on Cyprus. The victory spurred European morale and was attributed to Our Lady, as the Christian forces united in prayer to her before the battle. The Battle of Lepanto is one of many victories throughout history accredited to Our Lady's power and goodness.
