This is a painting done by one of our Children's Rosary members, Emily, who is just 6 years old. She and her two older brothers belong to the Children's Rosary at St. Thomas Becket Church in Cheshire, Connecticut USA. Their group recently visiting two nursing homes. The most recent visit was yesterday where they held a Children's Rosary at a nursing home where Sisters of the Sacred Heart live.
Emily and her brothers very much enjoy sharing their music and on one occasion have brought their instruments to the Children's Rosary. Emily was able to play Ave Maria in between the decades on her violin. It is especially beautiful that these little ones see the role of the Holy Spirit in their lives and their ability to honor God.
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.
