Say a Rosary on Good Friday

Again this year an appeal is going out on the internet and by e-mail to pray a Rosary on Good Friday between noon and 3 p.m. for peace in the world and return or moral values.

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 us all pray a Rosary for peace in the world and the return of moral values into our communities. If possible, please pray your Rosary between Noon and 3:00pm.

“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.”

See also our earlier article about a Rosary on May 7, 8 or 9 for the intention of ending the killing of the unborn.   There is a link there to sign up.
