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 Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at 7:00 PM ET. The event will be a virtual gathering on Zoom or YouTube, where we will start with a brief introduction, followed by the Rosary prayer, and conclude with a short reflection. We value your presence and participation in this structured yet 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.
Your intentions are of utmost importance to us. In addition to your intentions this month, we pray for an end to violence throughout the world, mainly as it is perpetrated against women and girls.
We encourage you to look at our Rosary Outline for Participants, which will help you prepare for our Rosary for Peace. It provides a detailed guide on how to participate and what to expect during the event.
