Dear All,
This week in my Reflection for the 5th Week of Easter I have drawn on the Homily of Pope Leo XIV at Mass with the Cardinals after his election, and his visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Counsel.
I hope you find it helpful for your own Homily for Sunday and/or Marian Devotions in May. The Reflection will form part of the Burning Bush vlog which will be recorded tomorrow, Friday.
All good wishes, Mgr Daniel McHugh
