Summary: The rosary is a very powerful weapon in the fight against Satan said Monsignor Cronin's in his homily on The Blessed Virigin Mary Queen of Peace. He asked us to pray to God through the intercession of our Lady for three favors. First, for the Spirit of Love which binds us together to live as one family in peace. Two, to give us the gifts of Unity and Peace which Christ gave, and only Christ can give, through His death and resurrection. And thirdly, for tranquility. To be able to stand before the forces within and without and to be able to have peace knowing that we are not alone. Our Blessed Mother teaches us that one of the ways to be able to receive peace is through penance. Put simply, through self-denial. By giving ourselves in prayer and uniting ourselves to Christ on His cross. What wonder's can take place if all of us can more perfectly love the Lord, His church and its teaching and our Blessed Mother. What gifts we have as Catholics and how much we need to proclaim them!
