October, month of the Rosary

My dear brothers and sisters, the celebration of the 50^th anniversary of our parish community is over, but life goes on and there are many things that come and they are important. With the visit of the Archbishop and the daily celebration of the Eucharist we have been renewed in our spiritual life and have the strength to keep walking as People of God who walks into the house of the Father. October is marked by devotion to our Lady of the Rosary and for a more consistent and stronger prayer for the missions. His Holiness Benedict XVI has two major intentions for this month: that the celebration of World Mission Day may foster in the People of God a passion for evangelization with the willingness to support the missions with prayer and economic aid for the poorest Churches (Missionary intention), and that that the terminally ill may be supported by their faith in God and the love of their brothers and sisters (General intention). October is also marked in the United States and in our community because we will start preparing to receive the new edition of the Roman Missal. This is a new opportunity that the Church gives us to learn more about our faith, to open ourselves to new horizons with renewed hearts. Let us ask the Spirit of God that we not lose our focus and clear priorities, and that God himself is at the center of our daily lives. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, while we contemplate the mysteries of her life, teach us to walk towards her Son, to help us find him in the liturgy and giving thanks for the many blessings we have in our parish community ■ Fr. Agustín, Pastor.
