Good Friday Rosary

Share

An appeal has gone out for a global Rosary, to be prayed collectively tomorrow for the intention of protecting unborn human lives.

Here’s the text of the Rosary appeal, which is being circulated on the Internet:

“Imagine what might happen if every Catholic in the world would pray a Rosary on the same day!

“We have an example in October of 1573,  when Europe was saved from the invasion of the mighty Turkish fleet. Europe was saved by the praying of the Rosary by all Christians!

“So, on Good Friday, let’s all pray a Rosary for the intention of ending abortion, including an end to Terrorism. If possible, please pray your Rosary between noon and 3:00 p.m.

“Also, please e-mail this message to every Catholic on your address list, and ask them to pass it along to every Catholic on their lists. Let’s unite in praying one of the most powerful prayers on one of the holiest days, for these two increasingly urgent intentions.”

I pray the rosary daily, mostly outside abortion places in Oklahoma City. Although this is a great idea and I will plan to pray an added rosary Friday, who initiated this request and why dilute the intention with prayers to end terrorism?
Also, I personally dislike pass-it-on computer requests.
