QUEEN OF THE FAMILIES


The message of our lady of 11th may 2006, " I am the queen of peace and the queen of the families, conversion! conversion within families!

From this message we can reflect the importance of strong and united families in our society as Pope John points out in his apostolic letter on the rosary"The revival of the Rosary in Christian families, within the context of a broader pastoral ministry to the family, will be an effective aid to countering the devastating effects of this crisis typical of our age" par 6
As we all know Strong families are the backbone of our society, thus broken famlies will result in a broken society....and a broken society will give the result in a broken nation.....a broken nation will effect the whole world.
So let's start doing our part, let's start praying the rosary with our family first!

MARY IN THE HEART OF THE BLESSED TRINITY


Through my spiritual journey I have discovered that the more I pray the rosary the more I feel inner peace. This led me to reflect that our lady being the mother of the second person of the trinity takes us to the very heart of the blessed trinity where we are enfolded in peace, love, security and most of all divine mercy. Ah! if only humanity seeks to obtain these graces surely this culture of death that we are living in, will end!

POPE JOHN PAUL II ON THE ROSARY


Here I wish to highlight the importance of reciting daily the rosary and the significance. Late Pope John Paul II in his apostolic letter 'ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAE' explains to us the beauty of this prayer "With the Rosary, the Christian people sits at the school of Mary and is led to contemplate the beauty on the face of Christ and to experience the depths of his love. Through the Rosary the faithful receive abundant grace, as though from the very hands of the Mother of the Redeemer".
