During October, the month of the Rosary, we will pray the rosary before Mass.
The month of October each year is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary. This is primarily due to the fact that the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on October 7. It was instituted to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in gratitude for the protection that she gives the Church in answer to the praying of the Rosary by the faithful.
The practice of dedicating the entire month of October to the Holy Rosary developed toward the end of the last century. Pope Leo XIII (papacy: 1878-1903) strongly promoted the increase of devotion to the Blessed Mother by encouraging the constant use of the Rosary.

How does lectio divina move us to pray the scriptures?

 We will be using the Liguori Press book Wisdom Books: Job, Psalms, Proverbs Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom Sirach by William A Anderson available through Liguori Press, Amazon and other bookstores.
Please join us on Wednesday evenings at 7pm or Thursday mornings at 10am starting Sept 13/14.This will be an eight week group study.
