The Dominican Sisters warmly invite everyone—whether you join us regularly or for the first time—to our monthly Rosary for Peace on Wednesday, October 8, at 7:00 PM ET. This virtual gathering will be held on Zoom and YouTube, beginning with a brief introduction, followed by the Rosary. Your presence and participation will enrich this spiritually meaningful event.
The Rosary, rooted in Scripture, is a powerful prayer that guides us through the profound events—called “Mysteries”—in the lives of Mary and Jesus, remembered throughout the liturgical year. Its meditative repetition opens the heart to contemplative prayer, offering a path to inner peace and spiritual growth. By joining our Rosary for Peace, you are invited into a journey of reflection that can deepen your connection with God and inspire a more peaceful, prayerful life.
As Dominicans, we approach the Rosary in the ancient Catholic tradition, affirming it as “the layperson’s breviary.” The introductory prayers are drawn from the Liturgy of the Hours, a set of prayers that sanctify the hours of each day and form a vital part of the Church’s liturgical life.
As we gather on October 8th, we remember the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. In praying the Joyful Mysteries, we ask for the conversion of our hearts, that through Mary’s intercession we may welcome Christ more deeply and be renewed in faith, compassion, and hope.
To help you prepare, we encourage you to review our Rosary Outline for Participants, which provides a comprehensive guide to the flow.
