Members of the Children's Rosary in Vietnam have been working very hard. They share in the picture above a very special project that has taken the children two full days of labor. They made this special platform to carry a statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Careful inspection reveals handles from drawers used in a very clever way to help stabilize the Statue of Our Lady. Painting was also needed to finish the project. The children plan to use this platform to bring Our Lady on a pilgrimage they are going on this weekend.
Tran (age 16) shared their plans:
On Saturday June 3rd and Sunday June 4th we and 7 children representing Children's Rosary will go on pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Bai Dau. This is a shrine located close to Vung Tau Beach. We will pray and rest there. At noon we follow the Way of the Cross. In the afternoon we attend the Mass. In the evening we will take Our Lady of Fatima procession around the shrine and pray the Rosary. Next morning we will climb Tao Phung Mountain. There is a huge statue of Jesus on it. We will visit the grave of the martyrs. A lot of work. I hope you will travel with us.
This is also the Feast of the Holy Spirit.
This is a beautiful invitation from the children. They have put in so much work to make this extra special for Our Blessed Mother. The time in Vietnam is approximately 12 hours ahead of Eastern Time (time in Boston USA). Please consider unifying prayers with the children on this special trip. Click "join in prayer" on our new website(www.childrensrosary.org) so your gold flashing light can illuminate the dark sky. The children in Vietnam can see your gold flashing light and see that you are with them in prayer.
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.
