We Remember Mary
The month of May has traditionally been a month in which we give special
devotion and honor to Mary. This is a wonderful month in which to pray
the Rosary with your family. Some times people mistakenly think that the
Rosary is an old fashioned prayer. Or sometimes they say that repeating
the same prayers over and over again is boring. Well my family says the
Rosary in a way that is never boring. On Sunday, when the house is filled
with the Sunday newspapers, each person in my family is assigned to find
a photograph and a story about different people or countries throughout
the world. We each choose a decade of the rosary during which we pray
in a special way for this country. It works like this:
| 1. The Annunciation |
Brazilian baby
receives special surgery in US |
| 2. The Visitation |
Refugees flee
to the mountains |
| 3. The Birth
of Jesus |
Abandoned baby
found |
| 4. The Presentation
|
Elderly woman
robbed |
| 5. The Finding
of the child Jesus |
Children starving |
The photo and story
does not always have to be an exact match. It makes us feel good, though,
that for a few brief moments we pray for someone or someplace for which
no one had ever prayed.
