With Mary.
People pray a lot. Thanks to God. Praying is an answer to the grace of God and to keep in touch with the channel of his love. Praying is showing your belief in the fact that the best is that God reigns over our life and society.
However, there is a shortage of that belief and trust, more than we should want. With our eyes, we see a lot and even so , we notice what is going wrong. A lot is running in a way that we don’t like or that Jezus shows us in his Holy Word. Perhaps it could be good to be attached to Mary’s belief and to pray with her.
Those who recite the Rosary, consider the mysteries of happiness God wants to give to all the people. He shows it in Jezus Christ. Mary has been inspired by this salvation; she said ‘yes’ to God’s will with her whole life.
She was the first worshipper of the New Testament and she is with us when we pray the Rosary. The way of the happy, the sorrowful and glorious mysteries.
Mary was there at that time. She saw it with her own believing eyes.
She accompanies us in all the divine and human experiences of Salvation and she is helping us to look as a real believer.
In that way, as a church-society, as beloved children of God, as goodwilling people, we want to pray with Mary and believe that God’s will is the best in our life.
From the place of pilgrimage in Scherpenheuvel, we want to support that initiative wholeheartedly.
