For 7 October 2017, Our Lady of the Rosary, based on Luke 1:39-47

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.†And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

Thank you, Vivian, for this very fine preaching, which evoked this reply and much joy. Amazingly, we will have a rosary procession at our parish “Rosario” tomorrow, and followed by a Mass with all, especially members of the Dominican Family. It will be the first time in more than 50 years to hold such a rosary procession in the streets in Havana! We don’t even do that in Denver! Will be including you in our rosary tomorrow. Happy Feast Day, preacher!
