An Intentional Vincentian Rosary
Vincentians have five wonderful Virtues - one for each decade. (RULE 2.5.1)
Pray for God to help us live the coming week, by better practicing these Virtues.
1. SIMPLICITY - By practicing frankness, integrity, and genuineness
2. HUMILITY - By accepting the truth about our frailties, gifts, values, and charisms
3. GENTLENESS - By living with friendly assurance, good-will, and patience
4. SELFLESSNESS - By dying to our ego, in sharing our time and talent
5. ZEAL - By having a passion for the full happiness of every person
The Rosary is a very powerful prayer, given to us by our Blessed Mother herself. Throughout the centuries she has reminded us of its importance, as a prayer tool. It helps us move closer to God, by focusing our prayer and asking Her, our Holy Mother and Intercessor, to take our prayers to Her Son, Jesus - for those in immediate need and for a world which desperately needs prayer and redirection.
From intercession at "Lepanto,” to apparitions at Lourdes, Fatima, Guadalupe, and many more times and places throughout the centuries, our Holy Mother has appeared, asking us to pray the Rosary every day. She continues to intercede for us, by taking our prayers to her Son, Jesus.
As Vincentians, we know the power of and need for prayer, for ourselves, our friends in need, our families, our country, and throughout the whole world.
