Next Friday June 23rd will be the Global Rosary Relay for Priests. This is the third year that the Children's Rosary has been invited to participate. As the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (June 23), is also the World Day of Prayer for Priests, it is a very special way we can help to support our shepherds.
The Global Rosary Relay kicks off at midnight with shrines taking turns around the world leading a Rosary for the sanctification of priests. A full schedule of meetings is available on the World Priest website. Members of the Children's Rosary can participate by unifying prayers with a Shrine of their choosing from home. Also if Children's Rosary groups would like to meet at their normal meeting location such as the Parish, School or orphanage they can unify prayers with the Shrine meeting at the same time and pray for the sanctification of priests. The prayers of children are very strong so we hope many many children will participate. Please also visit our Children's Rosary website www.childrensrosary.org and click "join in prayer" that day so we can see your gold flashing light on the View from Heaven map.
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.
