Rosary, Sorrowful Mysteries: Contemplating Our Lord’s Passion – Apr 13 – Homily – Fr Ignatius

 

Fr. Ignatius M. Manfredonia gives the homily from Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA (Apr 13, 2025), on Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion and how the Holy Rosary is a perfect preparation for Holy Week, as it helps us enter into contemplation of the mysteries of Our Lord's Redemption. In particular, the Sorrowful Mysteries place us with Mary right in the context of the Passion and Death of Our Savior.

Father encourages us to enter into Holy Week, to make it holy, with increase focus on the how our Lord suffered for love of us, to accomplish the will of His Father, that we might be saved. Let us not squander the grace of this sacred time.

Ave Maria!
