Our Lady of the Rosary

FOCAL POINT:

The religious “will learn to renounce his own convenience in order to exercise greater efforts in fulfilling his pastoral duties and in implementing new approaches to pastoral ministry under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.” (Con. 195)

Birthday:

Fr. Artur Traczewski, 1973, Poland

1. For the conversion of sinners, and for all those in affliction, temptation and agony.
2. For fidelity to the recitation of the rosary as a Marian devotion, especially in this month dedicated to Mary.
3. For respect for life from the moment of conception to natural death.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“I urgently appeal, then, for a new dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet. We need a conversation which includes everyone, since the environmental challenge we are undergoing, and its human roots, concern and affect us all.” (Laudato Si’, 14)
