The month of May – Message From Pope Francis. Pope Francis invites us to rediscover the beauty of praying the rosary. He is requesting that during May 2021, the entire Church invokes the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary for the end of the pandemic and invites us to pray fervently for those most affected by it. Thirty Marian shrines have been chosen to take turns leading this prayer throughout the Church. Notre-Dame-du-Cap, in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, is among the Marian shrines chosen. The Vatican website offers some models of prayers to follow and interesting articles: http://www.vatican.va/special/rosary/index_rosary.htm Archbishop Valéry Vienneau

Amoris Laetitia To mark the 5th anniversary of the publication of the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia on the beauty and joy of love in the family, in March Pope Francis launched the Year “Amoris Laetitia Family,” which continues until June 26, 2022. This special year will highlight the significance of the family within the domestic Church and will promote the importance of community ties among families through various spiritual, pastoral, and cultural proposals. One initiative, a collaboration between the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life and Vatican News, is a series of 10 short videos (one each month) which include a reflection of each of the ten chapters by the Holy Father, and families from across the world responding as they speak about varying aspects of their daily lives. Accompanying each video is a downloadable pastoral guide, which includes material for personal and community reflection. Both can be found at the following link: http://www.laityfamilylife.va/content/laityfamilylife/en/amoris-laetitia/iniziative-e-risorse/10-video-amoris-laetitia.html
