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.

Hey, how come I'm still here?
To: Invincibly Ignorant
It's a punishment.
Removing your childish outbursts would save you public embarrassment.
Leaving them here allows everyone to add you to their bozo filter.
To: marshmallow
You spoke too soon, mm.

Probably the latter, unfortunately.

Dunno but I'll do everything I can to accomodate ya.
I don't doubt that. Might as well be the best and biggest at everything, even if it is acting like a jagoff.

Pray without ceasing.
