Pope Benedict XVI is suggesting that families
and parishes rediscover the prayer of the Rosary in the Year of Faith, which
begins on October 11 this year and will last until November 24, 2013.
“With the
Rosary, we allow ourselves to be guided by Mary, model of faith, in meditating
on the mysteries of Christ, and day after day we are helped to assimilate the
Gospel, so that it shapes all our lives,” the Pope said in one of his Sunday
Angelus comments.
Pope
Benedict recalled how his predecessor Blessed John Paul II promoted the Rosary
in his 2002 apostolic letter “Rosarium Virginis Mariae.”
“I invite
you to pray the Rosary personally, in the family and in the community, learning
at the school of Mary, which leads us to Christ, the living center of our
faith,” Pope Benedict reiterated his message.
“May these events confirm us in the beauty and
joy of our faith in Jesus Christ which comes to us through the Church!” the
Pontiff said, before imparting his apostolic blessing. He concluded with these
words of blessings, “Entrusting these intentions to our Lady of the Rosary, I
invoke upon all of you God’s abundant blessings!”
