As we approach a changing Mass schedule, a number of people have asked ‘Where are the priests?’ The answer comes in the corresponding question ‘Have you prayed for priestly vocations?’ If there are to be more churches with more Masses, we have to do the ‘spade work’ that is, pray for priestly vocation, which is the whole object of the Rosary Circle.
With the month of November approaching, next weekend there will a new ‘Rosary Circle’ chart for people to ‘sign up’ and commit to praying one decade of the Rosary each day for priestly vocations during the month of November, simply put your initial or a tick in one of the boxes on the ‘Rosary Circle’ chart in the church porch.
The ‘Chart’ lists the 20 decades of the Rosary and a number of columns for people to put their initial or a tick in a box to indicate they will commit to praying the particular decade each day for the month of October, and hopefully, this will create a number of ‘circles’ praying for this intention. This is a very simple spiritual exercise many of us could join in with; at least 20 people praying one decade of the Rosary each day, so the whole of the Rosary is prayed for this particular intention, thus creating a ‘Rosary Circle’. Let it be said, however, that anyone can join the Rosary Circles at any time.
