Rosary Reflections M ary,faithfuld isciple and Com panion on the Journey
As we gather tonight honoring Our Lady Help of Christians, we reflect on the various ways in which Mary models for us what it means to be a faithful disciple of Jesus.
She was the faithful guide of Don Bosco from his dream at nine years old, to his last moments on earth.
We entrust ourselves and all the members of the Salesian Family to her, the Help of Christians.
May she accompany us in our efforts to be joyful witnesses and enthusiastic messengers of joy and hope in our world today, especially to the young.
