The conclusion of the Rosary Month

Our LadyThe closing of the month of October was done with great solemnity at Auxilium Barasat.   An assembly of devotees about 120, the boarders, catholic students who were making the retreat, the aspirantate community, the Bethany novices and sisters, neighbouring catholic families  gathered to honour our Blessed mother through the recital of the Rosary at 6 p.m.  The beautifully decorated float of Our Lady on the cycle cart was a great attraction and enkindled in all awe and great love.  As the float moved ahead in front, the devotees with lit candles looked at her glowing image reciting the Rosary.  Rosary..The   procession started with a beautiful introduction and continued with   the commentary on each mystery, intentions, recital and singing of the aves in different languages, appropriate hymns in between and intoning of the litany.  The procession ended near the statue on the portico of the residence where all the placed the lit candles before the litany. Everyone who participated in the rosary expressed their appreciation for the organization of this beautiful homage to our blessed Mother. Rosary

The call to holiness excludes no one. November 1 heralds a time of serious reflection and prayer with the Saints and Blesseds of our Catholic tradition. Holiness is not a gift reserved for a few. We can all aspire to it, because it is a goal within our capacity (Lumen Gentium Ch. V).

To be a Saint just carry out your God given responsibilities whole heartedly, for love of God and the needy, one day at a time.
