Feast of our Lady of the Holy Rosary

October 7, 2009

We all came in the afternoon for the procession, the coordinators of the different block rosary brought their images of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They also brought flowers for Mother Mary, candles for the procession and umbrellas for the rain. Yes, we all brought umbrellas because we are quite sure it will rain that afternoon and evening. We even brought a raincoat for the image of Mother Mary for the procession. Everyone was asking if we have to proceed with the procession since there were heavy clouds above us and rain my come anytime during the procession. But again we were determined to go on with our plan and prayed... exactly 5:00p.m. we began the procession by praying the Hail Mary then sung a marian song. We tried to light our candles but the strong winds prevented us.

While praying the Holy Rosary and singing Marians Songs we braised ourselves for the heavy downpour of rain that is about to come but something beautiful happened... the rains never came that afternoon. Soon I realized that heaven intervenes and God does not want to spoil our humble way of honoring Mary on her Feast - Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. I was moved by the beauty of Mother Mary during the procession, and at the Holy Mass. Before the Mass the faithfuls brought flowers in the altar while singing marian songs. And before the final blessing, kids went in front to serenade Our Lady of the Holy Rosary with action song. Trully, I can say that Heaven intervened so we could honor the Queen of Heaven and Earth.

I would like to thank all those who helped in the preparation and all who participated in honoring our Lady. My especial thanks and prayers to Alexander and Vilma who provided the flowers and the food after the event.

Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, Pray For Us. Amen.
