Our new Pascal Candle this year is titled “Most Holy Rosary.” The Rosary of the Virgin Mary, which gradually took form in the second millennium under the guidance of the Spirit of God, is a prayer loved by countless saints and encouraged by the magisterium. Saint Pope John Paul II As the Virgin Mary stood witness to the triumph of her Son on the cross, Christ our Savior called down to the Mother of Sorrows decreeing her the Spiritual Mother of our holy church. Marial Blue, the glorifying color scheme of this reverent Paschal design, highlights the Rosary-adorned cross as its center piece. The Agnus Dei is the feature element of the top band of the candle, while the bottom band at the foot of the cross is graced with the Miraculous Medal, roses, and Fleurs-de-lis.
Eucharistic Exposition & Benediction
“The worship given to the Trinity of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...must fill our churches also outside the timetable of Mass-es...This worship must be prominent in all our encounters with the Blessed Sacrament...Adoration of Christ in this sacrament of love must also find expression in various forms of Eucharistic devotion: personal prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, hours of adoration, periods of exposition—short, prolonged, and annual (Forty Hours) Eucharistic benediction, Eucharistic processions, Eucharistic Congresses...Let us be generous with our time in going to meet him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease.” Saint John Paul II
from the Magnificat
