The Holy Eucharist - that was the theme at this afternoon's First Saturday Rosary. Being that it was the eve of the Feast of Corpus Christi (the Body of Christ) this year, our night was focused on deepening our faith in the Lord's hidden presence in the Blessed Sacrament.
Prior to starting the Rosary Prayer, I shared about the life of Bl. Maria Candida of the Eucharist (d. 1949), a Carmelite nun whose holy life was centered on Eucharistic and Marian Devotion. I also displayed her relic during our prayer time as a way of inspiring the people present to imitate the Blessed's love for Jesus in the Eucharist. Judging by the positive feedback I received after the prayer, many in attendance found Bl. Maria Candida's life story spiritually encouraging.
All in all, it was another lovely, well-attended meeting. There was a new face in the pews and we welcomed back several fellow Catholics from other parts of the island who we hadn't seen in a while... again, always a joy!
The next First Saturday Rosary will be prayed next month on July 6th. All are welcomed to participate in our parish's special prayer for PEACE.
