The Dominican Sisters extend a warm invitation to all, whether regular participants or joining us for the first time, to our monthly Rosary for Peace on Monday, February 24, at 7:00 PM ET. The event will be a virtual gathering on Zoom or YouTube, starting with a brief introduction, followed by the Rosary. We value your presence and participation in this spiritually enriching event.
The Rosary, a Scripture-based prayer, is a powerful tool for spiritual enrichment. It guides us through profound events (“Mysteries”) in Mary and Jesus's lives that are remembered throughout the liturgical year. The repetition in the Rosary is a transformative journey that leads one into restful and contemplative prayer related to each Mystery, offering a path to inner peace and profound spiritual growth. Your participation in our Rosary for Peace can inspire a deeper connection with God and inner peace, leading to a profound and inspiring spiritual growth journey.
As Dominicans, we pray the Rosary in an ancient Catholic manner, affirming that the Rosary is 'the layperson's breviary.' The introductory prayers are based on the opening prayers from the Liturgy of the Hours, a set of prayers that mark the hours of each day and are a vital part of the Church's liturgical life.
We deeply value your intentions. This month, alongside your intentions, we also unite in prayer for an end to racial injustice and for peace, unity, and healing across the world.
To help you prepare for our Rosary for Peace, we encourage you to review our Rosary Outline for Participants. It offers a comprehensive guide to what you can expect and how to actively participate in the event. We are here to support you throughout this journey, every step of the way.
