"Pray the Rosary during the upcoming Year of Faith"

 I would like to propose that everyone make a special effort to pray the Rosary during the upcoming Year of Faith [10/11/12-11/24/13]. With the Rosary, in fact, we let ourselves be guided by Mary, the model of faith, in meditating on the mysteries of Christ, and day after day we are helped to assimilate the Gospel so that it gives form to our whole life. Thus, following the lead of my predecessors, especially Blessed John Paul II, who gave us the apostolic letter “Rosarium Virginis Mariae” ten years ago, I invite you to pray the Rosary personally, in the family and in community, placing ourselves in the school of Mary, who leads us to Christ, the living center of our faith.

~Pope Benedict XVI, 10/7/12 Angelus Message

 

Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us!
