Children's Rosary Procession in Dormitz, Germany

The Children's Rosary group leaders from Dormitz, Germany shared this report from their May Children's Rosary meeting where they held a procession. 

We held the procession again, this time with a small niche/box housing the statue of the Virgin Mary, who led the way, escorted by two children and their banners (it was an honor for the children to do so).

Along the way, four banners/stops were placed for the reading of the Joyful Mysteries (the first was at the church in our village of Dormitz), as well as stones painted with the symbol of the Children's Rosary. All of this was done to the rhythm of songs. Thank God, the weather was good; however, the sharing took place in the parish house.

Our Lady of the Mantle, the monument erected and built by our people in gratitude for not having been bombed in World War II, was once again our destination and arrival point. It is undoubtedly a place very dear to our people. I must say that among the 15 children, two girls from our village of Dormitz were present: Elena and Francesca. The Virgin Mary received a bouquet of red roses in gratitude from one of the Rosary mothers, and another mother gave all the children pencil cases with the Jesus Loves Me logo and personalized names.

These are beautiful gestures that fill us with joy, as each family, in their own way, responds with their children to the Virgin Mary's call to pray the Holy Rosary. We also thank you, Blythe, because through this means, which you founded, we are able to grow as a community, which is taking shape in the spirit of God. They, growing closer, share their experiences, difficulties, and challenges with their children, making us part of this family of Christ on earth, and thus also give us a glimpse of what will be (God willing) in heaven.
