Father Patrick Peyton Quote
"The family that prays together stays together." "If families give Our Lady fifteen minutes a day by reciting the Rosary, I assure them that their homes will become, by God's grace, peaceful places." Father Patrick Peyton

Sorrowful Mysteries-Enter by the Narrow Gate
Enter by the Narrow Gate:
As we meditate today on the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary, Jesus tells us to take up our cross daily and follow Him.
"Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matthew 7:13-14

On Solid Ground
On Solid Ground
"I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God."
Psalm 40:1-3

Advent Begins 2011
Today is the 1st day of Advent, as we prepare for the Feast of Christmas. Let us try to pray at least 5 decades of the Rosary every day during Advent in preparation for a truly Blessed Christmas.
In the 6th month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, "Hail full of grace, the Lord is with you!" Luke 1:26-28

We Give Thanks
Today we pray our Rosary as a prayer of Thanksgiving. We thank Jesus for saving us and for loving us and suffering for us on the Cross. We thank Him for allowing us to participate in Mass and for the gifts of the Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation and all of the seven Sacraments. We are thankful that anyone, who is sincere, can pray the Rosary, even if they are not Catholic.
We thank our Blessed Mother for being the Mother of Our Saviour, Jesus Christ and for being the Queen of Heaven and Earth and Our Mother. We are thankful to be able to meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary through the Holy Rosary and Sacred Scripture and to follow their example in our own lives.
We are thankful for the many graces we have received and the many blessings in our lives. We are thankful for the strength and hope we have received to face the difficulties we find everday.

The Crown of Thorns Today
As we meditate today on the 3rd Sorrowful Mystery of the Rosary, The Crowning with Thorns, we pray for those who are today being persected, because they are Christians. Christ is still being crowned with sharp thorns today as Christians are being persecuted in violent ways in some places in the world.
Christ is also still being crowned with thorns and mocked today in secular societies, where even the mention of the name of Jesus is discouraged. Where the mention of the name of Christ, as in Christmas is avoided. Christmas trees are being called "Holiday" trees. Crucifixes and Crosses are targeted for removal from places where they have been for many years.
Yes, Christ and many Christians are crowned with thorns today in many ways. By remaining true to our faith and following Jesus, we will see the "Crown of Thorns" on earth become the "Crown of Glory" in heaven.
