Rosary Apostolate

Our Lady of Fatima has started the Parish Rosary Apostolate. Individuals and families are invited to join this apostolate to pray and lead the Holy Rosary immediately following each mass on Sundays. The goal of this apostolate is for individuals and families to grow closer to our Lord Jesus through devotion to our Blessed Mother. 

 Of course, you'll receive many special graces for helping lead this apostolate. Pope Benedict XVI did say that the Rosary brings "peace and reconciliation. It contains within itself the healing power of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, invoked with faith and love at the center of each "Hail Mary"." Through praying the Rosary, we will help conform our parish community, our country, and the whole world to Christ.

 For those who are interested please send me an email or call me at 732-895-2388. I hope to hear from you soon!

 In Christ,

The power of the Rosary

As we know, the rosary is Mary's prayer, and its mysteries are a reflection of Christ's life as seen through her eyes.

Mary teaches us through the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta (The gift of Living the Divine Will) to join her prayer to Her's, and she'll turn it into Divine Will. Well, this is the Rosary. The Rosary is our Blessed Mother's prayer that we pray with her. It has the effect of joining us with Jesus and all that he did in his humanity since Mary is intimately associated with every act of her Son as she followed all that Jesus did in the Divine Will. She followed him in his every step of his humanity, especially by his sufferings. And Jesus says that Mary had a post in which all humanity is linked to her as she lived the Divine Will. She carried us with her, as it were, while she, as the perfect disciple, followed her Son. This illustrates the connection that we have to Jesus and the Divine Will through his Mother. 

In summary, the Rosary is a means in which we can unite ourselves with Christ through Mary. It has universal impact because Jesus once again relives his life and showers the world with Divine Mercy because the person who prays it operates in the gift of living the Divine Will. This is what Mary meant when she asked us to join our prayers with her, and she'll turn it into Divine Will. To understand this further, please read my explanation on the gift in the link given. I've updated it, and I think you'll come to appreciate how Christ greatly desires to give this gift to us!
