World Wide Rosary

Posted on March 19, 2020March 19, 2020 by Gabriel

The Holy Father has called for a World Wide Rosary at 1:00 California time:

I make my own the appeal of the Italian Bishops who in this health emergency have promoted a moment of prayer for the whole country: Every family, every faithful, every Religious Community, all united spiritually tomorrow at 9:00 pm for the recitation of the Rosary, with the Mysteries of Light. I will accompany you from here. Mary, Mother of God, Health of the Sick, leads us to the luminous and transfigured face of Jesus Christ and to His Heart. We turn to Her with the prayer of the Rosary, under the loving gaze of Saint Joseph, Custodian of the Holy Family and of our families. And we ask him to guard our family, our families, in a special way, in particular the sick and the persons taking care of the sick: the doctors, the men and women nurses, the volunteers, who risk their lives in this service. -Pope Francis

If you would like a livestream to pray along with, the OP West Dominicans will be praying in Solidarity with the Pope here.

As many of us face increased time in isolation due to the COVID-19 outbreak the Rosary may be a useful source of spiritual strength in this time. It is a prayer that summarizes the totality of Jesus’ life, and allows us to see Christ through the eyes of the one who knew him best- His Blesssed Mother. I plan to do a blog post on each of the 4 sets of mysteries in the coming days. I am going to put the Divine Comedy on hold for a little bit, as I think the Rosary is a more suitable topic for the present time. And as this is a blog dedicated to Aquinas I will try to bring in his insights as well. Expect the first Rosary post sometime this weekend.

May our Lady wrap you in her protective mantel during this time
