Prayers Answered from Our Miraculous Medal Novena of 2024

On November 26, 2024, we completed a 9 day novena leading up to the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal on November 27, 2024. The intention for the novena was the following: 

In a special way may we pray for the intentions of Our Blessed Mother and a fulfillment of Her plans for each of us and the Children's Rosary prayer group movement. We pray for Peace, Peace, Peace!  May God help the Children's Rosary to put more miraculous medals in the hands of children. Amen.

Yesterday an email was sent to the Children's Rosary. It read, "I live near a monastery and was given a bag of aluminum Miraculous Medals. There are probably a few thousand of them, and I was wondering if you could use them? I would be happy to donate if you would like."

This was surely prayers answered! We look forward to sharing these miraculous medals with children around the world who are part of the Children's Rosary.

We thank Our Blessed Mother for her powerful intercession and look forward to the beautiful Feast of Mary, Mother of God tomorrow.

Sixth Day of Christmas

 A special thank you to Zosia, age 10, from Ontario, Canada who sent us her "Christ is Born" Sign. Amelia, age 11, from Porto, Portugal, designed a "Christ is Born" sign, which is featured below:

The "Christ is Born" signs are the conclusion to our Children's Rosary Patiently Waiting Campaign, which is now in its tenth year. Each Advent we invite people to place a "Patiently Waiting" sign in their windows to remind people where our hearts can be found as we prepare ourselves for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we invite people to take down their "Patiently Waiting" signs and place the "Christ is Born" sign, which can stay up through the Christmas season. Thank you to all who participated.

Powerful Testimony of How Fasting Can Help a Family

As today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family, I thought it would be timely to share this testimony, which shows the power of fasting and how it can help families.

Following our Children’s Rosary 9 Days of Prayer and Fasting from September 29-October 7, we received this note from a Children’s Rosary group leader in Ireland: “Praise God! I must also update you of extra special personal graces within my own home.  My heart has wanted so badly to manage to get my own family together nightly to say the Rosary. I never miss a day myself, but efforts to date has brought conflict and failure for one reason or another over the last few years. That's a big reason why I started the Children's Rosary group in my own parish in the first place- to help us to pray the Rosary together, and thank God the children have always been so willing and receptive and my husband so supportive. At home though I've found myself getting so frustrated that our family Rosary has been so difficult to manage. However I always kept hope!!! This fast and daily Rosary that came with it has sparked the change in my own house! Since the fast ended we are now all gathering on our knees every night at 7pm and recite the Rosary, and I know its all down to Our Blessed Mother and the Children's Rosary. So, my own house of children is being moved by the Rosary- not just on the outside, but from the inside too. My heart is full!!! My prayers have been answered!”

Children's Rosary Group Meets in Cahors, France, on December 28, 2024

 

We received some lovely pictures from the Children's Rosary group at Paroisse Saint Étienne de Cahors, France. 

The children placed flowers at the feet of a statue of Our Blessed Mother at the end of each decade.

The group welcomed more children to their meeting this month, which was a tremendous joy for the group leaders. One group leader wrote, "The families were very touched and wish to return to the next rosaries".
