The Charity of Padre Pio, “Ardent Devotee of the Holy Rosary” – Sep 23 – Homily – Fr Alan

 

On the feast of St. Pius (Pio) of Pietralcina (Capuchin Franciscan priest, Sep 23, 2019), Fr. Alan points out In the homily that despite the saint’s mystical elevation, one critical aspect of his holiness and his spiritual life are within reach of every Christian: his ardent devotion to the Mother of God and to the Holy Rosary. Countless miracles were obtained by this great devotee of Our Lady through his incessant recitation of her preferred prayer.

We who are less perfect may not be able to reproduce his miracles and mystical phenomena, but we can imitate his devoted praying of the Rosary, striving to pray it as he did: every day and in every free moment. It does not take a mystical gift, only abundant good will.

Ave Maria!
