The Second Glorious Mystery

In my diocese, unfortunately, the Feast of the Ascension has been transferred to the 7th Sunday of Easter.  The official wherefores to me are unimportant; to me this represents yet one more division within Christ's Church. Some of us are celebrating the Ascension, others are celebrating the sixth Thursday of Easter. Today we are not united in prayer.

Deacon Ron (because Father's English is unintelligible) did remind us this morning in his sermon that today IS the proper date of the feast of The Ascension, so we at least acknowledged the calendar (thank you, Deacon, you are the best!).  He also reminded us that during this time we are here, we are living in hope of Christ's second coming, and that living our faith to its utmost is our immediate call.

Today, therefore, as we remember Our Lady of Fatima, I will offer a special decade of the Rosary, the Second Glorious Mystery, for Christian Unity.

OUR LADY OF FATIMA, PRAY FOR US
