Consider using the new release from the Children's Rosary, A Soul Prepared through Suffering. This book draws souls to a greater simplicity of spirit often associated with St. Thérèse, the Little Flower, and St. Jean Marie Vianney. This book is for those in the trenches of suffering and for those yet to be put to the test, for it prepares people to understand that suffering shared by a loving God works in ways nothing else can. As God is the director of each of our stories, you may see yourself reflected in this book and find it helps each time you go through it in a different way. Put in the time for this 40-Day journey, and you will find you are different on the other side.  Watch the EWTN Bookmark Brief Full EWTN Interview Imprimatur Granted by Archbishop Leonard Blair of the Archdiocese of Hartford, CT, USA   This book is a must read. ~Bishop Oliver Dashe Doeme,  Diocese of Maiduguri, Nigeria The book is now available not only in Ireland and the US but also in the United Kingdom Order Now

Children's Rosary to Lead Rosary at Eucharistic Procession in Athlone, Ireland

 

As a follow up to the two wonderful Eucharistic processions in Derry, another procession has been planned for Athlone on the eve of the Feast of St Patrick's Day. Athlone is an historic town in the centre of Ireland. This procession follows immediately after 33 hours of Perpetual Adoration in Clonmacnoise, a nearby ancient monastic settlement which has some of the deepest roots in Christianity in Ireland. The Children's Rosary led the Rosary at both Eucharistic processions in Derry (Guildhall Square and Claudy). Now the Children's Rosary will be leading the Rosary for the Procession in Athlone at 4:00 p.m. This is a great grace. At the Derry Procession in Guildhall Square, the most recent estimates report that between 4,000 and 5,000 people approximately attended. The children, who represented three Children's Rosary groups, led the Rosary. Through their regular prayer in their groups, they have gained enough confidence to lead thousands of people in prayer. The fruits of this witness has led to more new Children’s Rosary groups being started in different parishes around Ireland. For this upcoming Procession in Athlone, which is in the center of Ireland, members from at least three Children's Rosary groups will be participating jointly leading the Rosary on the River Shannon footbridge. One group is traveling from Galway, another from Clare and some from Mayo.

All-Ireland Rosary Launch at Knock Shrine in Ireland

The Children's Rosary group leader from Knock Shrine shared, "Saturday, 1st March was a very special day for the Knock Shrine Children’s Rosary group. It was the day of the All-Ireland Rosary Rally launch event, and the same day as our regular first Saturday Children’s Rosary prayer group meeting. The day concluded with our Children’s Rosary and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. This took place in the Apparition Chapel, Knock Shrine, exactly where Our Lady appeared with St Joseph, St John the Evangelist and with Jesus in the form of a sacrificial Lamb on the altar below a Cross, surrounded by angels in 1879. The apparition was silent and lasted for over two hours. It was a great grace to have Fr. Marius O’Reilly join us in prayer and lead us in Benediction. The last Mystery of the Rosary was led by children speaking our native Irish language, a language that has many references to the importance of our Catholic faith. The chapel was full of people from all over Ireland. We are incredibly grateful to Our Lady and her Son, Jesus, that so many graces were bestowed upon all those present."

Praying Before the Blessed Sacrament

Dear Friends, 

Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit a Church in Massachusetts, USA, for an evening prayer service, Confession, and Holy Mass. The prayer evening began with Adoration. The priest placed a statue of Mary on the altar that had been crafted to cradle the Monstrance. It was a beautiful image to behold. Indeed Our Lady always leads us to her Son. It is a great blessing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament. If Children's Rosary groups have the opportunity to hold their prayer meetings during Adoration, this is a great blessing.

Children's Rosary Meets on the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus. The Children's Rosary at St. Peter Claver in West Hartford, Connecticut, USA met at 4:00 p.m. in the Church. Five children attended. They each took turns leading a decade of the Rosary. Each child had at least one turn placing roses before the statue of Mary and image of the Holy Face of Jesus. One of the boys, from the very first meeting of the Children's Rosary at St. Peter Claver, has made it a practice to kiss the rose before he lays it before Our Blessed Mother. He continued this practice today. One of the other children also began to do this. It was a very tender example of love for Our Blessed Mother. We have included pictures from the meeting.
