Second Sunday of advent
December 9, 2007
The Rosary is one of the most powerful prayers we can offer. I always keep a finger rosary in my pocket. It is possible to pray the rosary while we are waiting in line or driving, for example. I also enjoy using the scriptural rosary. Many versions are available for sale. The proper way to pray the rosary is to meditate on the mystery while saying the words, and he scriptural rosary can help with this.
I want to share this information about the Living Rosary Association. For those who feel called to join, it is another way to make a difference in the world.
Father Gary
The Living Rosary is not a new devotion, but a continuation of the Rosary preached by St. Dominic and announced by Our Lady for centuries. The Living Rosary Association was founded by Pauline Marie Jaricot, who is also the foundress of the Society of the Propagation of the Faith. The indulgences granted to this simple devotion include all those of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary and more! A gift of the Queen of Heaven, the Holy Rosary prayed faithfully, strengthened by the unity of association, will render all the attacks of Satan impotent. Let us unite with one purpose, spirit and prayer.
This is a "perpetual"rosary. That is, you accept to pray your daily mystery faithfully for the remainder of your life. These obligations do not bind under pain of sin, but your effort and desire to remain faithful are necessary. Your decade may be offered at any time of the day or night. A regular quarterly newsletter, "Dedicated Decades," is posted to every member.
The Living Rosary Association began its revival on December 8, 1986, with 30 local members. Blessed 1000-fold by Our Lady and under the powerful patronage of St. Philomena, the membership is now at 1,000,000 and has been planted in every Continent of the world. Over 3/4 of the membership lies in foreign and Third World countries. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Living Rosary, please send us your name and full address to the Universal Living Rosary Association enrollment center ( www.philomena.org) nearest you.We will build a list of 15 names. When the Rosary is complete, the decade you have been assigned and the day to begin will be mailed to you
