The 3:30 Beads

A few days back, on May 10, Irisshlass commented to me;

Maybe we Catholics here can form a prayer group and at a certain hour of the day or night, we all say our rosaries in our home. Even though we are not together we are in heart ...

Although I am not a speck Irish, my husband's roots (he's a "Grogan-O'Toole") have worn off on me a bit, and I could hardly think of denyin' the suggestion of an "Irisshlass." So without further ado[s], here are the "rules."

Join us in saying a Rosary every day at 3:30 p.m. (your time zone). The Rosary will be recited for the conversion of the world -- add in your own personal intentions as well, and we, as a group then, will *all* be praying for those intentions. If you can't make the 3:30 time slot, pray when you can and alert Our Lady as to your "group." If praying the entire Rosary is too daunting a task, just say one Decade; one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, one Glory Be. If that's too much, just one Hail Mary (for starters!) is fine too.

Fr. Corapi's Virtual Rosary site which is very easy to follow: Link.
Another site with the full Rosary on tape form in addition to Gregorian Chant, Chaplet of Divine Mercy (which can be said at 3:00). Link.

Keep in mind you can say the Rosary at all times that aren't distracting. That is to say, walking/walking the family pet, driving/driving to or from work, swimming/running, etc.

I can also say Our Lady gets the credit here...She put that thought in my head, I have no doubt. She is constantly calling us all to pray.

"Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the Rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother" --St. Padre Pio.

When Fr. Corapi is on EWTN, it's one of the rare times my husband and I watch TV together (that isn't sports related!) because there are closed-captions on Fr. Corapi (which I need), but not so with many of the other shows on EWTN. We both think the world of him too ...

[Irisshlass]

I hear you..cars and sports..Thank God for Father Corapi to bring us all together. :) He probably get a kick out of that. :)

[Irisshlass]

I love Padre Pio too! St. Pio.

I didn't know that...it makes sense though, because She gave us Jesus.

Early in his priesthood, Fr. Maximilian surrendered himself "as a tool in the hands of Mary as she labors to bring all souls to Christ." He and six friends founded the Militia of the Immaculata (Crusade of Mary Immaculate). They were devoted to the conversion of sinners, opposition to freemasonry ... and spread the wearing of the Miraculous Medal (which they chose to wear as their habit). They were devoted to Our Lady and the path to Christ. --Link.

“Mary is the fruitful Virgin, and in all the souls in which she comes to dwell she causes to flourish purity of heart and body, rightness of intention and abundance of good works. Do not imagine that Mary, the most fruitful of creatures who gave birth to a God, remains barren in a faithful soul. It will be she who makes the soul live incessantly for Jesus Christ, and will make Jesus live in the soul” --St. Louis De Montfort, (True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin).

Excellent!! I went for a walk with the dogs and said the Rosary ... while wearing my "GET HOLY OR DIE TRYING" T-shirt. I've had a couple people over the months that I've worn it, compliment me (give me the thumbs up) on it ...

[trisham]

I love that. I just bookmarked it. :)

[Irisshlass]

Yes, it's high enough quality too (pretty thick actually). I've had mine since Christmas, and I've worn it quite a bit, and it is still in fine shape!:):) Link.
