In this previously unpublished homily for the 2017 Fatima Centennial livestream event (Oct 07, 2017 – Memorial of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary), Fr Elias explains that the Rosary is a “model of prayer for every age.” In our day, it is the key to peace, not only because Our Lady told us so at Fatima, but because through the Rosary we enter into her Immaculate Heart, and in Her Heart our hearts are transformed. It offers one of the most simple and effective ways to progress in the spiritual life.

Ave Maria!
