Pope Invites Families to Pray the Rosary
For the Intentions of the Pope, Missions and PeaceCASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy, OCT. 1, 2006 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI invited all families to pray the rosary for the intentions of the Pope, the mission of the Church and peace.
The Holy Father said this today to the crowds gathered in the papal summer residence of Castel Gandolfo to pray the Angelus, on the first day of October, the month the Church traditionally dedicates to the rosary and the missions.
"It is as if every year Our Lady invited us to rediscover the beauty of this prayer, so simple and profound," said the Pope, referring to the feast of the Virgin of the Rosary, observed on Oct. 7.
The rosary, a "contemplative and Christocentric prayer, inseparable from the meditation of sacred Scripture," is "the prayer of the Christian who advances in the pilgrimage of faith, in the following of Jesus, preceded by Mary," continued the Pontiff.
