What would we give to be able to utter with fervency the prayer our Blessed Mother so confidently expressed in the Magnificat:

"My Soul glorifies my Lord and my Spirit rejoices in God my Saviour!"

It once was a puzzle but now we are privy to her Secret.

Whenever we accomplish what the Lord asks of us, it pleases our Lord

But when we go beyond what our Lord asks of us we glorify Him!

This night, we have the privilege to do just that if only we choose to unite in a leap of faith into our Father's Will.

WAF Honolulu Division - Annual Rosary in the Park

Thanks to a lovely and dedicated woman, Josephine and of course, her many assistants, we were blessed to have another wonderful afternoon of Rosary in the Park.  This is a local annual event to commemorate Our Lady of Fatima's last apparition on October 13, 1917.  This year was extra special as our dear Bishop Larry joined the faithful in honoring our beautiful blessed mother!  It was also the first time a shower of blessing (rain) fell while the sun was still shining.  It reminded me of what the people must have experienced the day the sun danced.

The gathering started with our bishop leading us in prayer.  Then that was followed by the procession around the park.  Our Lady's statue was crowned with a beautiful Haku lei and roses.  We then chanted the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00 p.m. or a little past that time.  We prayed the Luminous Mysteries...mostly in the rain and then we renewed our total Consecration (St. Louis de Montfort).  The bishop gave his final blessing and we all left...very happy participants in a very joyful event. 

The following are some photos from the Rosary gathering.
