Poorest of the Poor

Tomorrow we remember in a special way Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta.  Her name has almost become synonymous with helping the poorest of the poor.  Last year at this time we had the wonderful blessing to spend time with the sisters of Charity in Bridgeport Connecticut USA.  The Sisters held a Children's Rosary at their convent.  We had members of our Children's Rosary group from the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Waterbury, CT and the children the sisters work with in Bridgeport praying together.  It was beautiful to see the children all kneeling in the sisters' chapel before the large crucifix on the wall with the words I thirst.  Next to the children was a picture of Mother Theresa with a first class relic.

In many ways it seems that Mother Teresa has been close to the Children's Rosary.  We are blessed to have a Children's Rosary prayer group in a parish named after Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta in Kenya.  We have also seen the beauty of children from all walks of life coming together on their knees to pray the Rosary, a prayer that was so dear to Mother Teresa.  Some of our Children's Rosary groups are from very poor regions of the world.  Yet the children are able to bring joy to the bleakest of situations.  Some of our groups in Pakistan are fond of taking to the streets each day to pray with the poor and sick.  Children from Angola to Australia to Canada can be found in these little Children's Rosary groups. They come to prayer with simplicity and open hearts.  

On this eve of the Feast of Bl. Mother Teresa in a special way we ask for her intercession for all members of the Children's Rosary. May we all be carriers of peace and charity in this world. Amen.

Over the next week we have many Children's Rosary groups meeting.  Please consider joining the children in prayer.  The children always pray for those unifying prayers with them.
