The Rosary in the month of May
Month of Mary
Benedict XVI presides over the recitation of the Rosary
ROSARY IS NOT A PIOUS PRACTICE RELEGATED TO THE PAST
May Mary help us to welcome within ourselves the grace that emanates from these mysteries, so that through us this grace can 'irrigate' society, starting with our everyday relationships, purifying it from many negative forces and opening it to the novelty of God.
"The Rosary", the Pope added, "when it is prayed in an authentic manner - not mechanically and superficially, but profoundly - brings peace and reconciliation. It contains the healing power of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, invoked with faith and love at the heart of each Hail Mary".
Benedict XVI then called on those present to ensure they remained united to Mary during these days leading up to Pentecost, "invoking a renewed effusion of the Holy Spirit for the Church".
"In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"
