Pray Rosary without ceasing

"Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication".

(Eph. 6:18)

Rosary Chain Prayer

Rosary Chain Prayer is a prayer campaign that has immensely boosted the Rosary devotion in the month of October over the last 21 years in Visakhapatnam and else where, with the blessing of His Grace Most Rev.Dr.M.Prakash, Arichbishop of Visakhapatnam. Presently the talk of the town is the encyclical letter of Pope Francis titled "Laudato Si" on care for our common home the earth. Our Pope is calling us to hear the "Cry of the Earth" as we have overly exploited the earth and to hear the "Cry of the Poor" as we have neglected the suffering humanity. Our Pope is challenging us to build up a wholesome and integral relationship with God, with the humanity and with the earth.

This year, 2016 the baptized members of the Church are invited to live with a sense of consecration, as set apart for the Lord and capable of waking up the world to a sublime dignity of life. As disciples of Jesus Christ we are called to be guiding light for the world to see and aspire for what is beyond temporal, earthly, fleshly and sensual. God the creator and Lord of all is grossly offended by the deviations in the field of education, earthly enterprises, social media, festivals, sexuality etc. Cruelty of mankind has grown beyond breaking point.

Let us keep these realities in mind as we fervently participate in the Rosary Chain Prayer in this October. In the Rosary mysteries are encapsuled the remedy for the redemption of man and the earth. One Rosary at least a day will place us on the path to heaven. 2016, the

Year of Mercy should help us to change from the culture of greed to culture of mercy.

Blessed Bartolo Longo, the apostle of the Rosary, leads us to pray in the following words: 'O Bllessed Rosary of Mary, Sweet chain which unites us to God, bond of love which unites us to the angles, tower of salvation against the assaults of hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we will never abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of death: yours our final kiss as life ebbs away. And the last word our lips will be your sweet name, O Queen of the Rosary, O dearest Mother, O Refuge of Sinners, O Sovereign Consoler of the Afflicted. May you be everywhere blessed, today and always, on earth and in heaven".
