An Adoration and A Special Rosary with Reflections Pilgrimage
from Ad Jesum per Mariam · host Ad Jesum per Mariam
An Adoration and A Special Rosary with Reflections Pilgrimage Take a special spiritual pilgrimage and join several dozen pilgrims in Eucharistic Adoration and the praying of the Rosary. Each decade of the Rosary is accompanied by thoughtful reflections designed to deepen your meditation and prayer. At the beginning of this pilgrimage, St. Louis de Montfort speaks about what he considered the single greatest mistake made by many who pray the Rosary. Listen carefully to his words and discover how this timeless wisdom can enrich your own devotion. As the pilgrims at the Shrine kneel before the Blessed Sacrament exposed in the Monstrance, we invite you to create a prayerful atmosphere in your own home. If possible, place a crucifix or cross nearby as you pray the Rosary. You may also wish to light a candle, provided it can be done safely, as a visible reminder of Christ’s presence and the light of faith. For those who wish to proceed directly to specific portions of the pilgrimage: Gospel and Homily: approximately 13:40 Rosary and Reflections: approximately 24:27 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This bilingual evening of Eucharistic Adoration and Rosary at the Shrine . . . . . . centers on the Blessed Virgin Mary as the one who leads souls to Jesus Christ, the source of all grace. Drawing from the Gospel of the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38), the Homily reflects on Mary’s title as “Full of Grace” and presents her as the Mediatrix through whom Christ entered the world and through whom believers continue to encounter Him. The Homily also emphasizes St. Louis de Montfort’s teaching that Christians should begin the Rosary by identifying the particular grace they most need, entrusting their intentions to Our Lady with confidence. Against the backdrop of gathering darkness, the candlelit prayer becomes a symbol of faith, hope, and Christ’s victory over sin and death. A recurring theme throughout the evening is Mary’s role as the “Star of the Sea,” guiding pilgrims safely through the changing seas of life toward the eternal harbor of salvation. The Rosary includes reflections before each decade. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art Work Madonna di Foligno: Italian Painter: Raphael: 1511 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why was this Painting Selected: Mary appears enthroned in glory with the Christ Child while serving as an intercessor between heaven and earth. The painting beautifully reflects the homily’s theme of Mary as Mediatrix of Grace, bringing souls to Christ. On the left are the kneeling are St. Francis of Assisi and St. John the Baptist.
