Reports two days ago that 30 school children were abducted in Nigeria. Such heart breaking news, especially for the families and parents of these children. Yet in the city of Lagos, Nigeria children can be found each night coming together in prayer. A Children's Rosary composed of approximately 50 neighborhood children from the parish of St. Augustine come together in prayer of the Rosary each night at 6PM local time. This is 1PM ET. While many of our Children's Rosary groups meet either monthly or weekly, this currently is our only group meeting daily. It is a beautiful thought to imagine these little children gathering each evening in prayer. Such prayers are so needed and with the continued violence against children their prayers are a wonderful witness of love.
Please consider joining the children in prayer. They always pray for those unifying prayers with them.
The Children's Rosary® is a prayer group movement that was begun out of love for Our Lady and Her Son. Jesus tells us "Truly, I say to you unless you turn and become like children you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 18:3). The Children's Rosary is an effort to begin in parishes rosary prayer groups composed of children and led by children. Through prayer of the Rosary Our Lady will guide our young people while at the same time sanctify families and Parishes.
