Note. The Brothers in Wheeling installed Wi-Fi over the weekend, so I'll be able to continue cutting a slice of Daily Bread when I visit there in the future. Praise God!
Today we honor Mary as Our Lady of the Rosary. Her intercession via this favorite prayer saved Europe from the Turks more than once: at the battle of Lepanto in 1571 and in 1716 at the Battle of Belgrade. A rosary campaign in Austria is credited for the sudden withdrawal of the Russians form Austria after their post-WWII occupation.
In our own day, we face the "Turks" in other forms: Isis, Secularism, Indifference, Subtle persecution, etc. Beginning with her appearances at Fatima, Mary has pleaded with us to pray the rosary daily to avert evil and overcome it. The recent push toward mercy, with the up-coming Year of Mercy, ties right into praying the rosary...Can we not find 15 minutes a day for this prayer, even for a decade of it? Let us heed out Mother who has been so patient with us.
God Bless...
