John Paul II Makes a Rosary Appeal
10/3/2004
ATICAN CITY, OCT. 4, 2004 (Zenit) - John Paul II capped a beatification Mass by inviting Christians to recite the rosary.
The Pope made his appeal today in St. Peter's Square at the end of the Mass in which he proclaimed five new blessed.
"On this first Sunday of October, month dedicated in a special way to the Virgin of the Rosary, I invite you to recite this beautiful prayer, imitating also in this the new blessed," the Holy Father said.
John Paul II referred explicitly to Mother Ludovica De Angelis, one of the newly beatified, and "her devotion to the holy rosary, which she always had in her hands," when he greeted pilgrims from Argentina. The Italian nun had been a missionary in that Latin American country.
The Pope highlighted the importance of the Marian prayer when he convoked the Year of the Rosary from October 2002 to October 2003.
The Church celebrates the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on Oct. 7.

The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.

As Father Corapi put it so beautifully, "The Rosary is the Prayer of the Gospels."

Wonderful. The call has gone out to fondle beads.
Can you possibly be a bigger pissant?

I think we missed the chance for world peace when the Fatima secrets were not revealed in 1960. We will soon find out what it said - the hard way.

I'd expect such silliness from an 8 year old, but not from an adult. Please take such juvenille silliness somewhere else. Uncalled for mocking remarks such as what you write sadly show that you did not receive any raising from your parents about showing simple respect for other Christians'religious beliefs.Sad isn't. They raised me Catholic.

Can you possibly be a bigger pissant?Dunno but I'll do everything I can to accomodate ya.
