The Rosary will be recited at the Grotto
The Rosary will be recited at the Grotto at 6pm on Sunday evening 8th September. Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary - The liturgical celebration of this feast has a joyous theme of light: the world that had been shadowed in the darkness of sin sees a glimmer of light with the arrival of Mary. Through Mary comes Christ, the Light of the World. The Blessed Virgin has a pivotal role in the history of salvation, and she was given the highest mission ever commended. We rejoice that the Mother of God is our Mother too. Let us call upon the Blessed Virgin as “Cause of our joy”, one of the most beautiful titles in her litany.
