Rosaries during Lent

We have been praying the Rosary twice a week for Jane, Monday night at 8pm in St Jude Chapel at Saint Vincent de Paul and Thursday afternoon in the church or cry room at 2:30pm, and many have joined us throughout the last few months.

Since it is almost Lent, when many of us are considering an additional commitment of prayer, I thought of asking you again to consider joining us. 

It takes less than 15 minutes to pray the Rosary. The prayers of the Rosary, which come from the Scripture, are very helpful when we are praying for an intention that is close to our heart. When our minds are filled with a thousand anxious thoughts, the words of Scripture in the prayer help us to focus on God and His blessings.

If you are not familiar with the prayers, I have handouts that I bring every time so you can follow along (or you can print out your own from this link http://rosaryarmy.newevangelizers.com/prayers/.
 
There is also helpful information about why we pray the rosary and copies of the prayers for a scriptural rosary on this page:  http://rosaryarmy.newevangelizers.com/prayers/why-catholics-pray-the-rosary/). 
 
We pray the Joyous Mysteries on Monday and the Luminous on Thursday.
 
Please forward this info on to anyone else who knows Jane and who may be willing and interested in coming to pray with us.
