51st Annual
May Crowning |
|
|
|
Sunday, May 30, 2021 |
|
|
St Michael’s World Apostolate
held the 51st Annual May Crowning at Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers
Shrine during the Sunday Holy Hour for clergy. Over 80 pilgrims gathered for
this
memorable and uplifting occasion, the beneficiaries of abundant grace and joy so
desperately-needed for these end-times.
Amazingly, despite the miserable and rainy
forecast, the event was virtually rain-free, thanks to the Holy Trinity
(we believe) Whose feast the universal Church was celebrating that day.
After the prayer service and ceremony, delicious sandwiches and
celebration cake was enjoyed with companionable spirits. Just when everything
was said and done and every mother and child safe in their car, Lo and Behold,
the heavens opened up with torrential rain.
What a beautiful statement from On High and a Divine nod to this
powerful public demonstration of love and recognition of the Queen of Heaven and
earth. |

man has died in the womb
of his mother than to disgrace and bring discredit to
My Mother." |
