…….By Saying Your Rosary Daily –Archbishop Okeke
By Sunny A. Ijomah
The Chief Shepherd of the Onitsha Archdiocese, Most Rev. Valerian Okeke has urged Christians to take the Blessed Virgin Mary home by saying their rosary frequently, as that remains a veritable weapon to conquer temptations the enemy has set.
The Prelate gave the advice while delivering a homily during his pastoral visit to Blessed Tansi Parish, Umudioka, on narrating a story of how he ran into armed robbers who rained bullets on his vehicle when he was still a rector of a senior seminary, but the bullets couldn’t penetrate his
car, let alone hurt him.
He attributed that miracle, to the rosary, he had been saying while driving his car that same day.
He further enjoined the
people of God to aspire to be
close to the Mother Mary as
John the Apostle was, adding that with such effort, miracles will never cease to occur in our lives.
We shall not see evil, and shame resulting from
failures and hardship can
never take over our lives.
