St Martin Magazine - St Martin Magazine - Oct 2024

In this issue

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary and the cover of our magazine celebrates this with a painting of St Dominic receiving the beads from Our Lady. In his Editorial Fr John Walsh reflects on this devotion so beloved by the Irish. Fr Kellan Scott continues the theme in Evangelium where he writes about how a staunch Protestant came to believe in Mary’s grace and the power of the Church’s most important prayer. Dom Aelred Magee looks at Mary’s role as Queen, as well as Mother of Peace having given birth to the Prince of Peace. A politician and a painter, Charles Stewart Parnell and Vincent Van Gogh are the subjects of It Happened This Month and The Cloister Garden. We continue our series on Great Irish Dominicans and Martyrs, Famous Converts and The Life of Saint Martin. What is the link between the Eurovision Song Contest and the Church’s ‘official’ prayer of thanks? Find out in Ray Hughes’ article Sing to the Lord. On page 36 there is a reminder that November is the month of the Holy Souls, and we would be delighted to receive your names for our November Holy Souls Altar List of the Dead by post or online.
