O Mary, the Rosa Mystica,
pray for us!
September's First Saturday Rosary for Peace was prayed by just a small group of participants this month. The Saint I picked to share about was St. Padre Pio, who is a favorite among many Catholics, especially those familiar with Christian mysticism. A sacred relic from St. Pio's stigmata bandages was present on the display altar, along with Our Lady's veil-relic, while we prayed the Rosary in intercession for world peace and for the conversion of sinners.

After the Rosary prayer ended, a visiting group and their priest arrived at our Kailua parish from far away Waianae. The group came to borrow our Day Chapel to hold a memorial service, as for some unusual reason, there was no facility available on their side of the island to hold a service today. The presiding priest saw me carrying my pilgrim statue out and he asked if it would be possible for Our Lady's statue to remain in the chapel during their little service; I gladly acceded. So, as it turned out, the Rosa Mystica ended up pulling a "double-shift" today, gracing not only our regular Rosary for Peace prayer participants but also comforting a grieving family.
Our next
First Saturday Rosary will be prayed on Saturday, October 6th, at 4:30pm in our Day Chapel. All are welcomed to pray with us and to venerate the blessed relics of Our Lady
and the Saints.
