As we enter October, the Month of the Rosary, the Catholic Society organised a Rosary Workshop and a Rosary Gathering on 20 and 21 October, which served as a gentle reminder for us to keep our faith alive in our daily routines.
During the workshop, we crafted rosary bracelets alongside our fellow Shungtakians, which created wonderful memories for us. As we made the rosary with our own hands, every bead represented our efforts and carried a unique meaning. Just like Mary’s humble “yes” to God, each bead serves as a reminder for us to offer ourselves to Him. Through this hands-on workshop, we also came to understand deeply the immense love that God and Mother Mary have given us.
On the second day, we gathered together for prayer. We asked Mother Mary to pray for us and to guide us to follow her as our role model. By meditating on the Joyful Mysteries, we tried to ponder these mysteries in our hearts. More importantly, we learnt from Mary’s faith, humility, and her willingness to serve, especially when we encounter challenges in our daily lives.
May we create peaceful and quiet moments for ourselves to calm our minds by praying the rosary, even in our busy daily lives.
