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.
The Children's Rosary planted a Peace rose for Our Lady on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima over a year ago. The children prayed that with each petal that formed on the rose 1,000 families would begin family prayer. On July 2nd Our Lady's rose bloomed for the first time this year.
Our Lady's Rose in Bloom on July 2, 2013
Then this past weekend we found the rose garden had been in the path of a crane which was brought in to help with repairing the windows of the Church. The children and I looked all around the grounds and were not able to find the roses planted elsewhere. It was sad to see them gone. Then yesterday as the children and I were entering the Church for daily Mass we saw the grounds keeper. The children asked about Our Lady's Rose. He responded that the bushes had been cut down but the roses were saved. Praise the Lord...Our Lady's Rose and those planted with hers had been spared. They had been dug up and put in buckets with the plans to replant after the construction was over. A happy end to a story and just in time for Our Lady of Mount Carmel's Feast Today.
