MAY IS OUR LADY’S MONTH. If you don’t already have one, please take a Rosary beads after Masses this weekend, and a leaflet explaining how to use it. As the great Rosary priest Fr. Peyton used to say: “the family that prays together stays together.” Why not reintroduce the lovely custom of praying together at least one decade of the Rosary in your home, for peace in this world and in our own hearts, and in thanksgiving for all our blessings?
