Children Gather as Shepherds and Angels


The Children's Rosary in Crossboyne, Ireland, wanted to humbly invite other Children's Rosary groups to consider making meetings in December more special by dressing up as shepherds and angels as they meet to hold their Children's Rosary. The Children's Rosary at Knock Shrine will be holding such a Rosary with the children dressed as angels and shepherds on December 23, 2024.

A Child's Nativity Made of Snow

Yesterday we had a beautiful blanket of snow cover our region. This morning as we walked home from Church our oldest son had an idea. This was taken from a post done earlier today:
The priest in his homily spoke of seeing a cave in Bethlehem on a recent trip to Israel. One similar possibly to the one Our Lord was born in. He gave us a vivid mental picture of this cave. Well Kostin was thinking about the cave and proclaimed during the walk that he was going to make a cave out of snow and the people inside out of snow, too. Not sure how that will work but stay tuned for pictures. 
Well here is the update:
The picture above was the finished product. We also include a picture at the bottom of the artist. We share these little experiences to celebrate the faith and creativity of children and also give glory to God.

Come on a Journey with Us

Looking at this ally way in Pakistan one can image the Holy Family walking with their donkey...knocking on doors. This is the scene tonight on Christmas eve in Pakistan.  Let us go village to village and see the little towns. Where are the children?  You will see....

They are kneeling at cribs celebrating the birth of Our Lord. They have been waiting patiently in prayer for weeks and now they can meet Our Lord. 

They can celebrate Christmas! Different Children's Rosary groups each make it special in their own way.  

There is dancing and many from the town gathering to celebrate with the children. They place large pieces of ornate fabric to create a roof in their Church that does not have one. The people here understand the desire to have a roof over ones head just as the Holy Family was trying to find a place to rest on Christmas eve.
The journey continues into the late night.  More roads to cover to see more children. Our last stop tonight is Ashraf town. It seems the little angels are gathering together. See the little girl on the right with her angel wings.   
We will be sharing more pictures in the coming days.

Thank you all!

Have You Ever Seen a Nativity in Pakistan? The Children Share Theirs with You.

There have been so many beautiful pictures coming from the different Children's Rosary groups throughout small villages in Pakistan. We were surprised this week to see the children had built little Nativity scenes in their villages.  
Each one was remarkably different.

The children want to make it a very special Christmas. They have such beautiful creativity in what they do using their local fruit trees to create a scene that is probably very authentic to the real manger scene.

The children take such care in what they do...trying to make a special place for the Baby Jesus. In this way, also they can have a special place to come and pray in preparation for Christmas.  This week there will be more pictures to share.  


I see these pictures as the fruits of the Rosary. This is what prayer will do in the hearts of children.  They will prepare a place for Our Lord both in their villages but also in their hearts.



Many of these Children's Rosary groups in Pakistan will have meetings over the next 24 hours. See the Children's Rosary website for a schedule so you can unify prayers with them. The children have been asked to pray for all those unifying prayers with them.  While a group is meeting you will see a blue light flashing on our View from Heaven map. The first of the groups meeting will begin tonight at 8PM ET. You can hit the "join in prayer" button and also become a gold light on the map.
