I suppose it’s a very minor point, but that quote seems to suggest that Pope Francis is sticking with the 15 traditional mysteries of the Rosary, and not saying the additional five suggested by JP II in 2002.I hadn't really thought of that; interesting point. And as a reminder to those who may not have remembered, today is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary:
On October 7, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates the yearly feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Known for several centuries by the alternate title of “Our Lady of Victory,” the feast day takes place in honor of a 16th century naval victory which secured Europe against Turkish invasion. Pope St. Pius V attributed the victory to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who was invoked on the day of the battle through a campaign to pray the Rosary throughout Europe. LinkOur Lady of the Rosary, please pray for US, and pray for Pope Francis too.
When I was commuting to NYC from Vermont, I used to go to Our Lady of Victory Church down near Wall Street, whenever I stayed over the weekend. They didn’t do the Latin Mass, but it was always beautifully done and traditional minded. Good sermons, good music, respect for the Sacrament.
