Bishop Frederick Campbell said as part of his Rosary Day re- flection: “So, my friends, on this day when our prayers are most needed, we ask Mary to be with us, to allow what shines through her life — that reflection of the power of God — to shine upon us, to invite him into the dark corners of our minds and hearts, to assure us of the victory of his Son the Lord Jesus Christ, and to awaken in us the memory of who we are and what we are called to do.”
