***Hello friends…
My post is just a sharing of an event that I hope will inspire you.
Last night my daughter’s CYO group prayed the Rosary in a manner that we call the “Living Rosary”.
The kids invited parishioners to come to Church and pray the Rosary with them.
But instead of each person using their Rosary beads, everyone was given a small candle and a typewritten card with the part they were to recite.
We all stood in a large circle around the perimeter of the nave of the Church. Each one of us was representative of one bead of the Rosary…and as we recited the Rosary, we lit our candles progressively! Until it was one large circle of lit candles!
The Intentions of the Rosary were said at the very beginning, as a list of names composed by the students, of parishioners and family members that are either ill or need prayers said for them.
It was a beautiful and meaningful way of introducing our CYO students to the need of praying for others.
Thanks for “listening”
