Oct 07 – Homily – Fr Bonaventure: Our Lady of Victory/Rosary

Homily #101007 ( 24min) Play – Originally this feast was known as “Our Lady of Victory” as we see in the battle of Lepanto, a battle won through the power of the Rosary.

Men at Arms and God’s Victory

Providence, mediated through the maternal Heart of Mary, brought the natural forces of gallant knights under the influence of supernatural direction and power.

Philip II of Spain had responded to that providence, and although he would prove himself fickle and jealous of his half-brother, Don Juan, he would show himself Our Lady’s instrument, in spite of himself.
