There has been a lot written recently about the life of newly Canonised Saint Teresa of Calcutta, and her love and care for the poorest of the poor. She is a shining example for us as Jesus was always telling us to care for those less fortunate than ourselves. In today’s society we can be impressed by money, celebrity and power as we seek to climb the social ladder, but Jesus tells us to beware of this. Instead He wants us to think about those people around the world, displaced from their homes because of war, poverty and natural disasters. Maybe we cannot influence governments to change the situation but we can look out for those around us who are homeless, in poverty or on the margins of society. We can take every opportunity to minister to them by making donations and helping good causes or just by giving a coffee or meal to a beggar. We can also keep them and their situation in our prayers. Many of us pray the Rosary regularly but during this month we are reminded how valuable this devotion is. The Rosary gives us a ‘blue print’ for our lives, and helps us in our faith journey. As we pray using the beads we follow the life of Mary and Jesus and we entrust our lives to them through the Mysteries that we meditate on. As her adopted children we think of Our Mother Mary from the day that the Archangel Gabriel asked her to be the Mother of Jesus Christ, through to her crowning as Queen of Heaven. We follow Jesus’ life from His conception, through childhood and as an adult, culminating in His Passion, Death and Glorious Resurrection. How uplifting is this to our spirits!! The Rosary is also a powerful weapon against any problems that we may have.
