Living rosary focus of Marian celebration By Karen M.Franz More than 2,000 people turned out at Silver Stadium Sunday afternoon, May 17, . but instead of yelling \Charge!\ when the cue for audience participation was given, the crowd intoned the prayers of the rosary. ~ The occasion was a Marian-Year Day of Prayer Organized by the Knights of Col- umbus of the Diocese of Rochester. The multifaceted Marian devotion gave area Catholics an opportunity to honor Mary on the anniversary of the first apparition at Fatima and to prepare for the Marian Year, whiclLbegins on Pentecost Sunday, June 7. People came from as far away as Rome and Utica, N.Y., to participate in the liturgy, which consisted of hymns, a living rosary, Scripture reading and homily, consecration to Our Lady of Czestochowa, Benediction and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and the reading of a special message from Pope John Paul II. •Father Chester Klocek, pastor of St. Leo's in Hilton, read the Holy Father's letter to the Knights of Columbus, in which the pope quoted St. Paul's letter to the Philippians: \I give thanks to my God every time I think of -you, praying always with joy in my every prayer for .all of you, because of your partnership for the gospel from the first day until now. I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Jesus \Christ.\ : ._. . ..'_ _. :- \ , iThe Holy Father cited in particular the knights' worlr^n,'behalf of theunborn. \I offer you-rpy grateful support and encourage The pope also noted the knights' devotion to Mary, and urged them and the Silver Stadium assembly to pray the rosary daily. He concluded his message by giving the crowd his apostolic blessing. The focal point of the liturgy was the living rosary, which was composed of school- children standing in formation on center field and holding roses to signify Hail Marys, and Knights of Columbus marking the decades as Our Fathers. The meditations for the rosary were the Glorious Mysteries. Following the rosary, Father Robert Fancy, a professor of theology at the Gregorian University in Rome,' read the Gospel account of the Annunciation, which he followed with a homily regarding Mary's relationship to Jesus and to His followers. \Mary is everybody's mother,\ Father Faricy began. Since motherhood is a perma- nent relationship, he said, \because Jesus came to us first through Mary, He comes to us always through-Mary.\ Father Faricy, — who is currently on sabbatical in the United States, working with Mother Angelica at the Eternal Word Televi- sion Network (EWTN) — is considered an expert on the Marian events at Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, and is author of Paulist Press' Medjugorje Up Close: Mary Speaks to the World. He told rally participants that Vatican II defined Mary as the mediatrix of grace — both sanctifying and healing. Thus Mary helps her children by intervening for them with Jesus. \You don't have to go to Jesus through Mary,\ Father Faricy quipped, mentioning that all the Protestants in heaven had taken the more direct route. \But it is the famous Catholic shortcut.\ Father Faricy, who said his vocation to the Coaunued on Pace 7
