Hail Mary Reflections
HAIL MARY: REFLECTIONS ON THE MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY
FOR INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP REFLECTIONS
During the month of May, we offered a series of faith reflections by Br Mark O’Connor FMS. Like us, Mary the first disciple, also had to struggle daily with darkness, uncertainty and doubt: ‘as she pondered… in her heart.” (Luke 2)
Focused on a selection of the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous mysteries of the Rosary, this collection sensitively addresses the Marian mysteries in the contemporary context of our postmodern world. Each article is followed by a number of questions for personal enrichment in a variety of parish and school settings.
