Pop-Up Catechesis: Our Lady of the Rosary

Joe Paprocki Prayer/Guided Reflections

Pop-Up Catechesis with Joe Paprocki

Generally, when we visit an art gallery or museum, we take our time, strolling from one piece to another and pausing in front of each one to take it in. We set our gaze upon each work of art and allow it to wash over us. This is a good metaphor for how we pray the Mysteries of the Rosary: each mystery is like a work of art that we stand before and set our gaze upon, allowing it to wash over us and speak to our hearts. In today’s episode of Pop-Up Catechesis, we focus on the Mysteries of the Rosary as we prepare to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7 and observe the entire month of October as the Month of the Holy Rosary.

Lent is a good time for us to explore our values, and the Lenten discipline of almsgiving reminds us to cultivate the value of generosity. We tend to think of generosity as an occasional act of kindness expressed monetarily. We send a check to a charity, drop an envelope in the church basket, purchase Girl Scout cookies, or put some money in the red kettle or CRS Rice Bowl. These are indeed generous acts that […]

In the Chicago area, where I live, there is a great deal of ethnic diversity. One of the most prominent ethnic groups in Chicago is the Mexican-Americans.

One tradition that I have observed on numerous occasions is the family picnicking at the grave of a deceased loved one. I’m not just talking about visiting the grave; I’m talking about a full picnic […]

As we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, we are reminded that we, too, must rely […]
