Mass Offered on September 1st 2018 for Seminarians

A Mass will be offered today for all seminarians that they will grow in holiness and lead us all in love. Every month we have a Mass offered for this intention. As our seminarians will be the future shepherds and our children are the future flock, it seemed a beautiful way for the children to help. 

We have been periodically featuring different seminarians on the first of the month by inviting them to share something of themselves - a beautiful sharing of faith and love of Our Lord. Today we will be featuring David Donaghue. We met him at the World Meeting of Families in Dublin. He is from England and we are excited to be able to share some of his words with you. 

David Donaghue
"I am a transitional deacon in my final year of formation for the diocese of Northampton in England. Being at St Mary's College Oscott seminary is very blessed because of our special devotion to the Blessed Mother. We know our need of her intercession and motherly presence as we face the challenges of the 21st century. Personally, the Holy Rosary has been crucial in my time at seminary, I find that it never ceases to help me especially in times of difficulty, I just take to my beads and meditate as best I can. I heard it said that when we hold our rosary, Mary is holding onto us like child reigns, keeping us safe. The simplicity and Christ centeredness of the Rosary makes it a powerful prayer and I believe I could live with just the Holy Mass and Rosary. Thanks be to God for this gift. It purified our minds and enlarges our hearts to love as Jesus loved. Please pray for me that I may be a holy Marian priest. God bless."

We thank David Donaghue for his sharing of faith and we ask those reading this to take a moment to say a Hail Mary for him. Thank you.

Papal Mass in Dublin

Yesterday we attended the Papal Mass in Dublin. There was one experience during the Mass that I wanted to humbly share with you. It was during communion. 

As communion time approached a line of priests began to come from the altar. They passed by us two by two. They each held a ciborium with the Blessed Sacrament. My heart ached to see such a sight. It was an experience of seeing the Good Shepherd - Our Lord feeding His Sheep. Those in attendance were more then 300,000 all waiting to receive Our Lord. My son took a picture of the screen which showed the sea of people and one thin line of priests going out. As we could see the line of priests on the screen we also could see more priests continuing to pass us from the altar. It was an incredible sight to behold. Please know that you were with us. In a special way I prayed for you during the Mass. I prayed for all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who help the Children's Rosary.

An Evening with the Pope in Dublin

Last night we were able to attend the Festival of Families in Dublin. Pope Francis attended. The evening was held in Croke Park stadium. We arrived at the stadium at 3:15. The Pope arrived after 6PM. He entered in his Pope vehicle and made several circles through the crowds. 

We were high in the stands and had a fantastic view. 

Before the Pope arrived there was a procession of people with flags from different countries throughout the world.

The first performance was a tremendous RiverDance. Children made a circle around the crowds and as the song concluded they stood and began to dance together with those on the stage. It was fantastic!
We made some lovely friends in the stands as we waited several hours for the evening to begin. Several Franciscan friars were there and Capuchin friars. We are leaving in just minutes to go to the Papal Mass. We will keep you all in prayer.

Days of Blessings at the WMOF

One of my children took these pictures from the balcony at the World Meeting of Families in Dublin. Our Children's Rosary booth is behind the orange arrow that at a distance looks like a cross. One can see from the pictures there were many many pilgrims walking through. 

They recorded so far 37,000 pilgrims have gone through over the 3 days. The booths opened at 8AM and closed at 8PM. We met so many wonderful families and priests over the days. 

Many Children's Rosary books were given away. Many shared their hope to begin Children's Rosary groups in their parishes and schools. Pray with us that these seeds take root. Asher helped me at the booth all three days answering questions especially to the pilgrims who spoke only Spanish. The picture above was a family living in England who are originally from Uganda. They will be traveling back to Uganda on September 6th 2018. We gave them Children's Rosary books and Rosaries to help them initiate a Children's Rosary in their village in Uganda. 

We were able to visit with our good friend Mons. Fuentes the Bishop of Minas, Uruguay. He has been helping to promote the Children's Rosary in his home Diocese and has a Children's Rosary at the Cathedral Parish in Minas. We are most grateful for his help and prayers.  

Tomorrow Pope Francis will arrive in Ireland. We welcome him. 

Two Days...Two Rainbows during the WMOF Masses

We would like to share with you that during Mass at the World Meeting of Families today a beautiful double rainbow came across Dublin. My husband traveling in Dublin was able to capture it when one part of the double rainbow was visible. Yesterday likewise during the outdoor Mass there was a double rainbow. My husband was able to photograph the rainbow after one part of the double rainbow had faded. The rainbow from yesterday is shown above and the rainbow today is below.

WMOF Dublin

Dear Friends,
Today was the first day of the World Meeting of Families (WMOF). The booths opened at 8AM at the exhibit hall and did not close until 8AM. We met many wonderful pilgrims throughout the day. We have been able to begin our day attending Mass at 7:30AM at the Poor Clare's Chapel. Earlier this week we were able to meet Sr. Brigid one of the nuns at the Monastery. She gave us permission to put our our Children's Rosary bookmarks at the chapel. As they have Adoration during the day there are many coming in and out. We have attached a picture of the monastery. It is very beautiful.

Keeping you all in prayer.
More to come this week....

Your Friend in Christ,
Blythe
