Rosary Center

Today we celebrate Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, and all the wonderful Carmelites who have likewise spread love and devotion to Our Blessed Mother.

Let's say a prayer for them today! May they flourish with many new and holy vocations, through her maternal intercession.

ROSARY VESPER HYMN -- Breviary
THE Mysteries are gardens rare,
Where fragrant blooms forever blow;
Ye nations, gather roses fair
And weave a crown for Mary's brow!
(from "Hymns of the Breviary," by Rt. Rev. Msgr. H.T. Henry. Picture: Western Dominican Province, "Belt, Rosary and Folded Habit")
