Memphis, Tenn., Mar 28, 2008 / 03:29 am (CNA).- The Saint Michael the Archangel Organization is attempting to organize one million people in the United States to pray the Rosary for unborn babies on Saturday, May 3.
Organizers of the prayer event, called One Million Rosaries for Unborn Babies, are asking participants to pray during the same 60-minute time span, beginning at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Patrick Benedict, President of the Saint Michael the Archangel Organization, said, "The primary way to stop the killing of unborn babies is not by way of politics and is not by way of education."
“The person battling the ‘Culture of Death’ is primarily in a spiritual battle and needs to use spiritual weaponry,” he continued.
“The Rosary is a powerful spiritual weapon, and I hope there will be at least one million people in the United States taking hold of their Rosaries on May 3.”
The organization is asking Pope Benedict XVI to re-establish the practice of offering prayers such as the Hail Mary and the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after Mass. The organization also asks that these prayers be offered for the intention of ending the surgical and non-surgical killing of unborn babies.
Participants can register for the event at www.SaintMichaelTheArchangelOrganization.org

Thank you for posting this,Dear Sister.
What a wonderful idea.
Agreed, a wonderful idea. I’ll join.
I am unable to access the site. Is there any chance you might send out reminders as May 3rd grows closer?
Rosary Bowl bump!
The dates may not coincide, but I would encourage everyone to get a Rosary Bowl going in your area/diocese!
Great idea. Stupid time.
I’ll say a rosary on that day but I will not get up at 6am (9am Eastern time)to say it.
I’ve signed up. Thanks for the post.
I’m in, and I’ll post the link in the Rosary Army forum. Thanks for the heads up.
