About this sermon
Today is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Every year, tens of thousands of pilgrims travel to the Italian city of Pompeii, where a special shrine honors the Blessed Virgin. It is one of Italy's most important pilgrimage sites - the Pontifical Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary. It is an important symbol of Marian devotion as more than 3 million pilgrims a year go to seek spiritual solace, healing, and inspiration by praying the Rosary. Situated at the foot of the volcano Vesuvius, the Sanctuary of Pompeii was founded by Bartolo Longo at the end of the 19th century. While studying at the University of Naples, Longo was ensnared by the occult and even became a Satanic priest. But a friend intervened, convincing Longo to pursue a different path. A Dominican priest helped him discover the Virgin Mary and the Rosary. With the help of Countess Mariana di Fusco, he established a society devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Rosary and started restoring the Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii.
