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!”
