The Knights of the Immaculatae in Chennai India continued their Celebration of the Centenary year of the Message of Our Lady of Fatima with special devotions during the month of May.
A Pilgrim statue of our Lady was blessed by Fr. Gregory Noronha on the 7th of May, followed by a beautiful May crowning Ceremony in which Our Lady was crowned Queen of our hearts.
This statue of Our Lady was then taken to the homes of our faithful throughout the month of May. In every house we prayed the Rosary, the Litany to Our Lady and sang hymns in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Miraculous Medals and Fr. Karl Stehlin’s book “Fatima: A Spiritual Guide for our Times” were distributed to all who came for the Rosary.
It was a revival of an old tradition here in Chennai as many of our faithful recalled the days of their childhood when Our Lady would visit their homes during the month of May.
Our Lady was received with great devotion in each house. Friends and relatives were invited to pray and so many who visited were surprised by the number of young hearts that so proudly declared themselves “Knights of the Immaculatae” in leading the Rosary and Litany in Latin.
The Rosary each day was offered for: the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary; the Consecration of Russia; the Conversion of Sinners.
At the insistence of many the Statue of Our Lady will continue to visit homes until the end of this year.
On the last Sunday of May the MI of Chennai organized a May Crowning for our Blessed Mother. After Holy Mass, Fr. John Hattrup SSPX crowned our Lady and led the faithful in the singing of the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
We are ever grateful to our Father Director Fr. Karl Stehlin who inspired us to undertake this initiative during his previous visit to Chennai and his constant support and prayers for us.
