"Rosary Message"

A review of Legion Of Mary by Richard written on Friday 8th of May 2009

For Attention of The Legion Of Mary.

Please if you can read the following message to allow a Rosary card and a Miraculous Medal to be handed out in parishes at any weekend mass during the month of May. Thank You.

As time on the following matter is limited, I please ask that you may read the following document to the very end, as there are some suggestions of how to circumvent the problem relating to time. But I imagine that even time cannot hinder the work of God as Isaiah chapter 43 verse 13 keeps popping into my head to gently remind me.

On Monday the 23rd of March 2009, whilst praying the Rosary, a thought appeared in my heart; a very simple thought regarding a way to help people become more active in prayer. The actual thought was ‘to offer a Rosary fold-out card (the one which shows the face of Our Lady on the front) and a blessed Miraculous Medal to all parishioners as they leave the church on a Saturday evening or a Sunday.’ After some guidance and prayer, I came to the conclusion that the best time of year to do this is on the first vigil and Sunday masses in the month of May: Our Lady’s month. This year, these dates fall upon the 2nd and 3rd of May, and can still be achieved to heighten people’s awareness of the importance of prayer in today’s world.

For peace to reign in our families, our world, and in our lives, we need to bring the love of Jesus Christ into our hearts; and what a beautiful and powerful way to reach the Divine Sacred Heart of Jesus ... through the Immaculate Heart of Our Mother in the Rosary.

The times we live in are indeed unprecedented. Televisions, mobile phones, i-pods, and computers are greatly distracting many. So maybe it is time to level the playing field by openly encouraging recitation of the Rosary in the family; especially during the month of May.

Starting this year, I pray that this goal be achieved every year at the same time (the first Saturday vigil and Sunday masses in May). I have included some suggestions of how this can be achieved.

1. A general blessing of both the Rosary cards and the Miraculous Medals.

2. An announcement toward the end of mass on the day(s) on the first vigil and Sunday in May by the priest that these items will be handed out at the back of the church. Also, the possibility of the priest touching on the value of the Rosary in today’s world, and the graces received (as Our Lady told Saint Catherine) of wearing a blessed Miraculous Medal, and especially the abundance of graces for those who wear it with faith.

3. The organisation of two to five people to hand the blessed articles out to people after mass at the back of the church.

Due to the nature of this matter, of which I believe Our Lady gave to me, I wish to remain anonymous, but give great thanks to Our Lady for Her special protection, intercession, and Motherly Love, and also The Holy Trinity for answering all my prayers. I do also pray for the presentation of these gifts to be perpetuated throughout all parishes in Australia, and indeed the world, to allow everyone the opportunity to seek first the Kingdom of God.

What a wonderful way to spread Divine Peace as the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the hearts of all parishioners, and what a powerful way to shower a lasting peace around the world.

Please also pray for the conversion of China.

Lastly, I thank you for taking the time to consider this request, and I ask that you all pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you in this matter.

Saint Dominic, pray for us.

Saint Catherine Laboure, pray for us.

Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.

Give all Glory and Praise to God.

Thank You, Father. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Holy Spirit.

PLEASE, IF ANYONE WOULD BE SO GENEROUS TO FORWARD THIS EMAIL ON TO OTHER LEGION OF MARY GROUPS AND PARISHES IN YOUR REGION - AND EVEN THE WORLD IF YOU MAY BE IN A VERY GENEROUS STATE OF HEART - AS I FEEL I AM RUNNING SHORT ON TIME ON GETTING THIS MESSAGE OUT GLOBALLY.

PLEASE ALSO PRAY FOR ME.

THANK YOU.

Please note: As I have been concentrating on getting the message out in Australia, I appreciate that there is little time left before the first Vigil and Sunday masses in May and it may be difficult to get the Rosary cards and Miraculous Medals in time. If this be the case, I please ask that you may encourage recitation of the Rosary during this month to your parishioners and the possibility at any time during this month of putting Rosary cards and miraculous medals at the back of the church with the suggestion of using the following note:

‘Our beautiful Mother Loves us. Please help Her during the month of May by taking a Rosary card and a blessed Miraculous Medal. Please pray the Rosary everyday with your heart to discover the Love of Our Mother and the Love of Jesus Christ, and wear the medal with faith.

Thank You.’
