Getting Ready for May

May: A Time of Abundant Gifts

In the Encyclical of Pope Paul VI (Mense Maio) on prayers during May he so beautifully describes how the month of May is a time “long dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God. Our heart rejoices at the thought of the moving tribute of faith and love which will soon be paid to the Queen of Heaven in every corner of the earth. For this is the month during which Christians, in their churches and their homes, offer the Virgin Mother more fervent and loving acts of homage and veneration; and it is the month in which a greater abundance of God's merciful gifts comes down to us from our Mother's throne."

Yet, in this month in which we are told of the abundance of gifts available to us there is also an urge to return such mercy with gifts of our own offered up to a Mother who loves us.  We should not worry about this special focus on Mary.  Pope Paul VI explains,  "Since Mary is rightly to be regarded as the way by which we are led to Christ, the person who encounters Mary cannot help but encounter Christ likewise. For what other reason do we continually turn to Mary except to seek the Christ in her arms, to seek our Savior in her, through her, and with her?" (Mense Maio)

Here are some ideas to help make May extra special:
1) Hold a May Crowning before a Children's Rosary in May.  
Step by Step instructions are available HERE on how to plan it!
2) Invite the children to make Mother's Day cards for Our Blessed Mother to bring to their Children's Rosary in May.  As you see above in the picture, the children placed handmade cards before Our Lady as they prayed the Rosary.
3) Ask permission from your Pastor to have the children give out Rosaries after weekend Masses one weekend in May.  Free Rosaries can be obtained from Holy Cross Family Ministries (payment for postage is required). 

As we enter into May, I humbly ask for special prayers for all those who have been preparing to hold their first Children's Rosary group during this special month dedicated to Our Blessed Mother.  I also ask for prayers for all the existing groups that Our Lord will bless them and assist them in their efforts to bring children together in prayer of the Rosary.

12 Rosaries "Left Over"

Last night I received a note from one of our Children's Rosary members from Ohio, USA.  I am including a portion of the note below.

"I had a thought while reading your posts tonight.  When reading the one about the 5 barley loaves and 2 fish with "12" baskets left over it seemed to apply to the "12" rosaries left over for your shipment!  I am still smiling as I write this and of course I just had to share!  Reread what you wrote and see if you agree." 

After reading her note, I went back to both posts that she references.  First the one entitled: The Children's Rosary Turns Five and then the second one: On the Shoulders of the Good Shepherd. The connection was remarkable.  I invite others to read them and see what you think!

A Mass Will be Offered Tomorrow for the Members of the Children's Rosary

A Mass will be offered tomorrow, through the Capuchin Missions, for all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who help the Children's Rosary.  We continue to have a Mass said for the this intention on the 25th of each month. The Eucharist is such a powerful gift from Our Lord that when I wanted to extend thanksgiving to all of you I knew of no better way to express my gratitude.  May Our Lord's love be poured down on all of you through the powerful sacrifice of the Holy Mass. 

The picture above is our new Children's Rosary in Thata Bsau, Pakistan.  The picture was taken at their first meeting on March second 2016.

Keeping Those in Ecuador in Our Prayers

We recently received word from our Children's Rosary group leader in Quito, Ecuador following the earthquake there:
"We are doing fine but our brothers and sisters from the west coast are very bad".  

As rescuers race to continue the search for survivors of Saturday nights earthquake may we humbly ask that those reading this post take a moment to say a Hail Mary for all those suffering in Ecuador.

The picture above is our Children's Rosary group in Quito, Ecuador. The picture was taken before Christmas.  They hold a sign which reads "Esperando Pacientemente" which means Patiently Waiting.  Indeed many in Ecuador are patiently waiting to hear about loved ones or waiting for help in this time of tragedy.  May we keep our brothers and sisters in prayer these days.

Thank you all!

On the Shoulders of the Good Shepherd

Recently we were introduced to a Sister Mary who has begun an orphanage in Tanzania.  The orphanage is named after St. John Vianney.  Through a series of emails we shared with her the Children's Rosary prayer group movement.  Providentially she was visiting the United States and will be returning to Tanzania on April 30th.  

We have been praying for some time that a Children's Rosary might begin in Tanzania after meeting a missionary priest this past summer who spoke about the region.  Yet shipping materials to Tanzania is both difficult and expensive especially to more rural regions that do not have postal delivery.  Yet Our Lord would take care of every detail.  Through a series of beautiful threads woven together we are now in communication with a priest from Rombo, Tanzania and now Sr. Mary who lives in a nearby region. If you read our earlier post from yesterday you will recognize the name Rombo, Kenya.  The towns are neighbors separated by a national border.  The question of how to get materials to the priest in Rombo, Tanzania was resolved by our providential meeting of Sr. Mary who is returning to Tanzania in just over a week.  

With a unique moment of opportunity to bring Children's Rosary materials to the region of Tanzania we asked Sister Mary how many Rosaries she would need. She gave us a number.  At first we did not know if we had that many to send.  The children began counting.  Providentially several packages had arrived last week with Rosaries.  

As each new box was filled with Rosaries the children counted.  Three large boxes in total filled.  All the rosaries requested were all accounted for and when the final count came in the the goal was met plus twelve extra Rosaries.  The twelve extra Rosaries brought a smile to our faces.  Had the apostles been helping us as well?  Indeed we felt more than ever that Our Lord had been seeing to every detail.  We were on His shoulders and the tasks that lay before us had been arranged so that the children could fulfill the request.  Such a task might have seemed too big and with such short notice but the children were not alone... Our Lord was helping.  

On Saturday my husband read from the Bible to our children during family prayer.  The portion of the Bible we had reached that night was Psalm 92.  

"I shout for joy at your handiwork. 
How great are your words, O Lord, 
how very subtle your designs."  (Psalm 91: 5-6)

As we do each night we ask each person in the family to pick out the part of the reading they like.  Our youngest son Asher liked the portion I have included above and in particular the phrase, "How very subtle your designs".  He commented that to some God's designs may seem subtle or small but to another they may be big and very important.  The people who sent the Rosaries to us may not have known when they would be used.  Yet Our Lord through His designs and handiwork would allow everything to be present and ready when the request came.  Today we rejoice in the kindness of Our Lord who chooses to carry us on His shoulders when we are in need.

New Children's Rosary in Rombo, Kenya

Today we received some beautiful pictures from our new Children's Rosary group in Rombo, Kenya. This new group held their first meeting in March of 2016 at the St. Charles Lwanga Mission in Rombo.  We are very excited about the formation of this new group.  Efforts began to begin this group as early as October of 2015.  A seminarian named Br. Cleophus reached out to the Children's Rosary with hopes of beginning a group.  For months we prayed.  His initial effort was to begin a group in Mombasa, Kenya.  A small package was sent to help begin the group which included 20 Rosaries.  It took several months for Brother Cleophus to be able to obtain the package from the post office in Nairobi.  During that time, he was relocated to Rombo, Kenya.  This town is on the Tanzania border at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro.  The town also sits between two Wildlife parks which do not have fences so there are many large animals in the area.  The Maasai tribe also lives in this region.

Brother Cleophus shared with us that Christianity is new to this area.

Good news came in March that the Children's Rosary group had formed and 100 children were attending.  He shared that the group is very strong!!  Meetings are held each Saturday at 3PM local time.  There was immediate need of more Rosaries and Children's Rosary materials with so many children attending.  Members of the Children's Rosary here in Connecticut USA set to work putting together a special package for the children in Rombo.  Two-hundred and twenty rosaries were counted and packaged along with a Children's Rosary CD, DVD and books.  We also included a donated picture of Our Lady.  The package is currently en route to Br. Cleophus and the children in Kenya.

It is difficult to receive packages in this rather remote region.  Brother Cleophus will have to travel a great distance to another region to receive the package.  There is great sacrifice but also great joy at seeing so many children coming together in prayer.  These children  join children in 12 countries around the world also meeting in their Children's Rosary prayer groups.  A special thank you to all those children and adults who handmade all the Rosaries that were sent.  We also thank those who provide donations to help meet the financial needs to send these materials and replenish our Children's Rosary books and materials. Thank you all.

"It is Good to Praise the Lord"

"It is good to praise the Lord."(Psalm 92:2)  It is also good to thank Him.  Today is our 7th day of Masses offered in thanksgiving to God as part of our Children's Rosary Anniversary Novena of Masses.  The last of our Masses offered in thanksgiving will conclude on Monday April 18th. 
Recently in reading a book to my children by Mother Mary Loyola these words seemed to speak so beautifully about the importance of thanking God.

"It is no humility, then, to pretend not to know what God has done for us. Gratitude and humility go hand in hand.  There is no better shield against vanity and self-conceit than Mary's word's 'He who is mighty has done great things for me' and when our hearts are stirred to praise God for his goodness to us, we shall find none more fitting than those of her beautiful Magnificat."

A special thank you to all who helped sponsor Masses as part of our Novena. We have been able to have eighteen Masses offered in thanksgiving.

The Children's Rosary Turns Five

Tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of the Children's Rosary.  Yesterday during Mass, the Gospel of the Feeding of the Five Thousand was read.  The priest took the opportunity to focus on the role of the little boy in his homily who gave his five barely loaves and two fish.  A simple calculation of the numbers would have concluded that such a gift would not meet the vast need that lay before them.  Even Andrew says, "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?"(John 6:9) Yet Our Lord used the selfless gift of this child and through it fed all present with yet more bread and fish left over.  Twelve baskets full we are told in Scripture (John 6:13). As the priest yesterday spoke of the boy my mind went to the Children's Rosary.  

In simplicity, a small group of children came together five years ago.  They gave their little prayers to God.  The rest was His grace and Divine Providence and a great many other people both little and old saying "Yes" as well. In anticipation of the anniversary of the Children's Rosary we have been offering up two Masses a day for 9 days for the fulfillment of Our Lady's Plans for the Children's Rosary.  Today is the last of these Masses.  Tomorrow Masses will begin for 9 days in thanksgiving.  This year we had more people asking to sponsor thanksgiving Masses in particular then in previous years.  Thinking back to the first year we had these novenas of Masses most people asked to sponsor days of petition.  This year was an interesting change.  There were those who gave and did not specify dates, people drawn to a date for a specific reason and the rest wishing to sponsor Masses of thanksgiving.  This was a beautiful thing to see.  So many hearts wanting only to thank God, a disposition which surely brings a smile to Our Lord's face.  

May I humbly thank all of you for your "Yes"!  All the many who have helped and participated in the Children's Rosary.  Each of our little gifts or talents is small but Our Lord uses these opportunities in his hands to do so much.  With so many now connected together, a great many of these being children, we look forward with hope in our hearts.  

We are blessed to have many Children's Rosary groups meeting over the next few days.  Please consider joining the children in prayer.  The children always pray for those unifying prayers with them.

The Children Offer Up Their Prayers on Divine Mercy Sunday

The Children's Rosary of St. Thomas Syro Malabar Mission in Harford, Connecticut met on Divine Mercy Sunday.  They met at St. Helena Church in West Hartford.  More than forty children knelt in prayer of the Rosary.  Both young and older children took turns leading from the podium.  It is so nice to see how eager the children are to help lead the prayers.  This week the children seemed to be trying extra hard with their prayers.  One little boy who sometimes finds himself a bit distracted with his little sister tried so hard this week.  He told me before the Rosary that he would try and kneel the whole time without talking.  I looked over at him several times.  Each time he was kneeling and staying focused on his prayers.  I smiled at him nodding in thanksgiving for his efforts.  He smiled at me in return.  This little boy may be five years old and his sister just three. Yet they are growing each meeting.  They are very eager to lead and are now doing better when others are leading, too. 

The altar this week was magnificently decorated with flowers to celebrate the Easter Season. A statue of Our Lady was placed before the children.  The sun shown down illuminating the place so beautifully where Our Lady was placed.

Please know that the children were praying lifting up in prayer all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who help the Children's Rosary.

Celebrating Divine Mercy Sunday

For over 10 years a Divine Mercy Event has been held at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in West Hartford, Connecticut USA.  For the past 5 years the Children Rosary has been asked to help. 

The children gathered together before the Event to ready their voices and practise singing our theme song Rosary Children.  Jeff Batter who helped in recording our theme song was there to accompany them.  This was a real treat for the kids!  

The Event opened with a procession of the Knights of Columbus Honor Guard and members of the Children's Rosary. The image of Divine Mercy was placed at the front of the Church and Fr. Nadolny blessed the Image. The children then held a Children's Rosary before the Blessed Sacrament. 

The children each took turns going to the podium to lead the prayers of the Rosary.  Charlotte and Massie, just 6 years old, melted hearts with their sweet angelic voices.  

Charlotte and Massie leading a decade of the Rosary

We were also blessed to have the Official Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.  Great sacrifice had been made to bring her... with one mother driving from Steubenville, Ohio to Connecticut.  This is over an 8 hour drive.  Ellen was not initially the one who was scheduled to bring Our Lady but due to illness Ellen stepped forward.  She drove into the night and through a snow storm to have Our Lady of Guadalupe there for Divine Mercy Sunday. These incredible sacrifices surely brought great love and extra blessings on the day. 

At the end of each decade of the Rosary a child placed a rose at the feet of Our Blessed Mother.  

Three priests were also available for Confession throughout the afternoon.  During some quiet time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament Kostin, one of the members of the Children's Rosary, helped to guide Sean to the confessional.  Sean is blind but has attended many Children's Rosary group meetings at our Parish.  He is in his 70s but says he likes to attend to pray for his own grandchildren that live far away.  Sean always feels comfortable asking Kostin for hep.  There is something easier about asking a child for help.  It is always beautiful to see the two of them walking together.  A truly beautiful sight on Divine Mercy Sunday.  Many might have seen Kostin and Sean in our theme song video Rosary Children.  

Special thanks to Sandy Shields and Scott Scaria who plan this yearly Divine Mercy Event and for inviting the Children's Rosary to participate.  We would also like to thank Ellen Puorro and Patty Brady who brought the Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe and were present throughout Divine Mercy Sunday.

Surprises for the Children

There have been many wonderful surprises for the children.  They began yesterday evening as we were walking home from the Church.  With record warm temperatures last weeks gardens were full of color. The kids had brought pansies to the Church to plant by one of the entrances.  As we were walking home, it began to rain lightly. We reached the house safely and then the skies opened up and hail began to fall.  Little ice balls were dropping and bouncing off the ground. The children thought this was wonderfully exciting. Then came the heavy downpours of rain and wind.  But after a short while this cleared to a magnificent rainbow.  


The kids ran outside some in bare feet to catch a glimpse of the colors streaking across the sky from one end to the other.  The colors last such a short time everyone wanted to catch a glimpse.  My daughter grabbed her camera and caught some of the color before it disappeared.  Everyone was all smiles.  The surprises would not stop.  

During the night, heavy rain and thunder could be heard and then an unlikely sound..snow plows.  We looked out to see everything was covered in snow.  All the flowers were poking through a white blanket of snow.  At Church a Magnolia tree was in full bloom.  The branches all topped with caps of snow.  When one looked down red tulips and yellow daffodils brought color to the white that covered everything.    

There was something majestic about the scene.  One women commented, "You will never see that again the Magnolias with snow over them."  Indeed with the record breaking warmth Connecticut has experienced the flowers were open a full month early.  A rapid drop in the temperature and moisture brought unexpected snow.  All these wonderful surprises have been little gifts for the children. 

We are so grateful to Our Lord for all these gifts and yet further blessings.  Yesterday was the anniversary of the passing of St. John Paul II who has been a wonderful intercessor for the Children's Rosary.  Today the Official Traveling Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe arrived at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in West Hartford, CT.  Our Lady of Guadalupe will remain all day through the Masses and the special Divine Mercy Sunday Event the Children's Rosary will be participating in this afternoon. The children will begin the Rosary at approximately 2:20 ET in front of the Blessed Sacrament.  We will be praying for you all.  We invite you to unify prayers with us.  


Today is also the third day of our Anniversary Novena of Masses.  Beginning on Friday we have had two Masses said each day for the Fulfillment of Our Lady's Plans for the Children's Rosary.

Mass Offered For Renewal of Family Prayer

Children's Rosary in Dughl Mood, Pakistan

A Mass was offered today for Renewal of Family Prayer. In a special way the Children's Rosary has been praying for renewal of family prayer.  We have said over 850 Novenas to different Saints asking for their intercession and help renewing family prayer in our families.  We also have a Mass offered on the first Saturday of the month for the same intention.  One of the members of the Children's Rosary was so kind to sponsor a Mass each month for this intention for one year.  As more and more children come together in prayer of the Rosary in their Children's Rosary prayer groups we pray that prayer also blossoms in their homes as well and throughout the world.  Pope John Paul II was fond of saying, "As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live."
