Save the date! The Miami Chapter will be hosting its monthly Guardia Sabatina on October 29th. Doors open at 10:00 AM with Mass beginning at 10:30. We will be providing lunch for those who are interested. If you’re interested in attending the Guardia Sabatina, please RSVP below.
Here’s one of a handful of homilies of Fr. Llorente on Our Lady of the Rosary that were saved through the efforts of agrupados that volunteered for an apostolate of outreach to agrupados away from the Miami House, recording the guardias on cassette tapes (before the days of the Internet) and circulating them among the various houses. This one is from October 1998 and is named, "El Rosario y Nuestra Señora-Batalla de Lepanto.” Nevertheless, in his inimitable style, he works in the history of the memorial, that is the battle of Lepanto, the ACU heroes and martyrs of Guajaybón, Bishop Fulton Sheen and Dr. Carlos Finlay, discoverer of the yellow fever.
P. Alejandro Pizarro, SJ, visiting us from the Province of Chile, speaks to us about our modern society. Why do we constantly fill our days with things? Do we avoid silence? We must overcome these temptations and give time to silence and allow the Lord to speak to us during those times of reflection!
We pray for the Church; ever faithful to, and courageous in preaching the Gospel, may the Church be a community of solidarity, fraternity and welcome, always living in an atmosphere of synodality.
