DOWRY OF MARY:
On 29th March, 2020, England will be rededicated as the ‘Dowry of Mary.’ This will happen in Westminster Cathedral, in Walsingham, in every Catholic Cathedral, in every parish and in as many homes as possible. Mgr John Armitage, the Rector of the National Shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham, has asked people to prepare spiritually for the rededication by praying the Angelus every day after our parish Masses. The Angelus is a most suitable prayer to prepare us spiritually for the rededication, recalling, as it does, ‘some essential moments in the History of Salvation, reminding us of Mary’s ‘yes’ to the Angel Gabriel, which undid Eve’s ‘no’ in the Garden of Eden.’ We profess our faith in ‘The Word, who was made flesh, and dwelt amongst us,’ and in his Death and Resurrection, the eternal destiny to which each of us is called in Christ. I hope that many parishes will respond to Mgr Armitage’s invitation to pray this beautiful prayer after our daily Masses, so that our hearts may be spiritually prepared for the rededication of England as the ‘Dowry of Mary’ on 29 March 2020. Mary, Our Lady, welcomed the coming of Christ into the world and into our lives. She will help us to do the same (from Rt Rev. Bishop Alan Williams).
As part of our preparation after our daily morning Masses we will say The Angelus prayer instead of a hymn being sung.
