This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

As we approach the end of 2020, a year in which nothing was as it had been before,

I've lost sight of the fact that has been the driving force of my life for many years,

the promise that Mary gave at Fatima, which has been renewed time and time again

in all the approved apparitions of the 20th and 21st century.

When she said that in the end, my immaculate heart will triumph, and there will be an era of peace.

This triumph is what I've been working toward and placing my hope in.

But I think I need to renew my hope in the promise of this triumph of her heart.

And I want to invite you to join me to do just that.

To come and join me this Saturday evening, December 12th, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

at 7 p.m. at St. Michael the Archangel, to renew our hope in the triumph of the Immaculate heart of Mary and to renew our full commitment to work to this goal together.

For that is what the movement of the Holy Family is all about.

So let's call to mind all those that we've promised to pray for.

In the gospel for the Mass today, the Archangel Gabriel greets Mary by a new name.

He does not say hail Mary, but rather hail full of grace.

The name the angel gives Mary is full of grace. St. John Paul II writes,

the expression full of grace serves almost as a name. It is Mary's name in the eyes of

God. Now this phrase full of grace in the English translation of the Greek word is

Keckeratomene. Keck keratomene literally means God completely and perfectly filled Mary with the Holy Spirit and with His grace from the first moment of her existence, which is just another way of saying Mary is the immaculate conception.
