God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them- 1 John 4:16 Right through the Bible, especially in the context of the Old Testament, we see how God the Father reaches out to His people every time they wander away from His protective Love, and step into evil ways. Satan has always been clever enough to devise innovative schemes that suit the social and political milieu of each passing decade. He has the guile to convince God’s people that the forbidden frui

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart -Luke 2:19 The first two chapters of Luke’s Gospel hold a secret key that links directly to the Holy Rosary and helps us unlock the mystery and grace embedded in this most beautiful evening family prayer. Luke begins with the prophetic announcement of the birth of John the Baptist, followed by Angel Gabriel’s appearance to Mary proclaiming the birth of “ the Son of the Most High ”-Lk 1:32.
