Excerpt

Throughout the year, we eagerly await October, the month of the Holy Rosary, and wish it would never end. It is the month when the Universal Catholic Church unites in asking for the intercession of Our Lady through the prayer of the Holy Rosary, seeking her help with our daily needs.

Earlier this year, one of our own Maronite Patriarchs, Mar Estephan Douaihy, was beatified. In his writings, he reflects on Mary as a source of God’s hope and grace in our lives.

“He made His mother like a channel of mercy and a spring of life, so that through her, He would pour out His goodness and blessings on all thirsty souls,” the beatified patriarch wrote.
