Haven't Found a Christmas Card this Year? We Have a Perfect One for You

Please consider this year sending out our new Children's Rosary Christmas card. This was painted by Abigail, a 10 year old member of the Children's Rosary. Great love was put into this card. The color is exquisite and there is a tenderness in the faces of the angels as they pay homage to the Baby Jesus. The message inside reads:

May Jesus be born in your heart this Christmas

 and may He grant you joy and peace.

The back of the card has an invitation to join the children in prayer and includes our website. It is a beautiful way to gently yet powerfully evangelize. With so many children praying in Children's Rosary prayer groups, these simple cards are a way for the children to reach souls. Their prayers are powerful. We also invite you to say a prayer for the person who will receive the card as you address it. Let us touch souls and help to draw them to prayer this Christmas. Thank you all and may God bless you.

* Note that there is a watermark on the image above that says Children's Rosary. This is not present on the cards.

Our Lady Needs Open Doors

Recently, I was speaking with a Children’s Rosary group leader. She was sharing how she recently has felt inspired to gift a rosary to people she meets.  She carries a rosary ready to give away so if she meets someone and there is an opportunity to offer a rosary she is ready. She also gives them something explaining how to pray the Rosary. She explained that Our Lady needs open doors and when you give someone a rosary you open the door for Our Lady. 

In a similar spirit, over the summer we started putting Children’s Rosary books on a table by the Chapel. We had received permission to do this. We were surprised to see how fast they would go. We do not know who took them but we trust Our Lord and Our Lady can use these open doors. 

We would like to humbly invite individuals to consider purchasing a 10 pack of our Children’s Rosary books and putting some out in your Adoration Chapel or carrying one with you. Watch for an opportunity to give it to someone. You will be surprised how fast opportunities present themselves. 

Another opportunity to reach loved ones is through your Christmas card. When you send your cards make sure to say a prayer for the person or family who will receive your card. Consider buying a box of Children’s Rosary Christmas cards. They have a very sweet painting of the Baby Jesus on the cover. On the back is an invitation to join the children in prayer with our Children’s Rosary website. 

These little efforts open doors for Our Lady and Our Lord. Consider some of these ideas as little spiritual gifts this Advent.

Incorrupt Heart of St. Jean Vianney

Today we were able to venerate the incorrupt heart of the Cure of Ars. This was part of a Major Relic pilgrimage sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. A small group of members of the Children's Rosary were able to visit New Haven, Connecticut. This is approximately 1 hour from our home.

Our little trip began with Mass at St. Mary's Church in New Haven. There we were also able to pray at the tomb of Ven Fr. McGivney, the founder of the Knights of Columbus. I prayed for all the members of the Children's Rosary at the tomb of Ven. Fr McGivney. 

We then visited the Knights of Columbus Museum. Upon entering, we immediately went to see the relic of St. Jean Vianney. There was a large crowd when we arrived. We prayed there and then visited the Christmas in Poland Exhibit also at the Museum. 

When the crowds had left, we returned to pray before the relic. Our small group was composed of two families with three children total. We prayed together in a special way before the relic for all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who help the Children's Rosary. We also asked for the intercession of St. Jean Vianney to protect the purity of the children who are part of the Children's Rosary. St. Vianney was a champion of protecting purity and we implored his help in this regard. We took you all with us today. You were in our prayers.

It was a special blessing to be able to visit this Major relic tour. It was the kindness of another Children's Rosary group leader who offered to drive which allowed us the grace to attend. A special thank you to her. With my own joint disability, traveling even locally is often a challenge as I do not drive. Yet, God is so good that He sends the kindest of people to help us.

The heart relic of St. Jean Vianney will visit cathedrals, churches, chapels and seminaries, from November 2018 to early June 2019. 

God bless you all.

Materials leave for Emmaus Catholic Mission Today!

Today a package was sent out to Emmaus Catholic Mission in Hola, Kenya. We received word from Fr. Nasamaka that he hopes to initiate a Children's Rosary there during the first weekend in Advent. He hopes to begin groups at St. Joseph Primary School and the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Emmaus. As Christmas approaches, it is exciting to imagine bringing these new Children's Rosary groups to the Baby Jesus.

We have a list of individuals in various parts of the world who want to begin groups but need materials. If you would like to sponsor a package many children would be very grateful.

Donations can be made electronically HERE.
Checks can also be made out to Children's Rosary and sent to:

West Hartford, CT 06127 USA

Thank you for your generosity and kindness.

First Snowfall This Year

This evening around 5 PM the snow began to fall. It has intensified and now all the roads have a layer of snow covering them. It is always particularly exciting to see the first snow each season. 

My kids took some pictures of our street and also looking up towards the sky. There is something majestic about a new layer of fresh snow covering everything. Some of the children who are part of the Children's Rosary never get to experience snow since they live in warm climates such as regions of Africa. We love to share these pictures as it is a witness of the beauty of God's creation and may bring smiles to some little ones' faces. 

Before the snow began, we were able to send out several boxes. One of the boxes went to Uruguay where there is interest in spreading the Children's Rosary in the city of Montevideo. Please keep these efforts in your prayers as many are trying to initiate groups in their parishes and schools.

EWTN Radio Conference 2018

Last week we attended the EWTN Radio Conference in Birmingham, Alabama. We had a Children's Rosary Booth at the Conference. Our purpose for attending was to make available free to radio stations programming the Children's Rosary has produced. 

It is our hope that through the soft, sweet, innocent voices of children that many hearts may be touched all for the glory of God.

If you have a local Catholic Radio station consider reaching out to them. Invite them to air our Children's Rosary. 
We have various free programming available to stations:
*Children's Rosary (Joyful, Sorrowful, Luminous and Glorious Mysteries) 
* Four different Litanies
*Short and Long Chaplet of Divine Mercy recorded by members of the Children's Rosary. 
* Our most recent addition that we released at the radio conference is our new Spanish Children's Rosary.

It gives us great joy to make these recordings available to stations. Each airing provides an avenue for the children to evangelize.  Through each child that is part of the Children's Rosary they add their prayers to this movement. The prayers of so many children call down grace that brings a multitude of fruits in many hearts even the ones that are the most hardened.

If you would like more information about airing the Children's Rosary on a radio station please contact Blythe at blythe@childrensrosary.org
The Children's Rosary can be heard each day on EWTN Radio Classics streaming HERE at 4:30 PM ET.

God bless you all.

Visit to the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Alabama USA

This week we were in Alabama and visited the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament on Wednesday. We were able to meet with the cloistered sisters. The picture above is of Asher and Mother Dolores. We invited the sisters to add their light to our View from Heaven map and unify in prayers with the children.

Please know that I prayed for all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who help the Children's Rosary during Mass and also at the tomb of Mother Angelica the foundress of EWTN.
