Hello, dear friends,
Happy New Year! What a joy it has been for Cecilia and me to have prayed the rosary with you LIVE every day for the last 138 days. The graces and fruits have changed our lives profoundly, and I know for so many of you, as well. After prayerful discernment, Ceci and I have decided to start taking the weekends off from live-streaming the rosary beginning this Saturday, January 2, 2021. We still plan to be on Instagram and YouTube every weekday at 6 am CT, but we hope that this change to our schedule will do two things:
- Allow us to catch our breath and get some rest (especially my teenager) as we pray later as a family; and
- More importantly, encourage you to take this new habit of praying the daily rosary and share it with your family and friends.
“But Kitty,” you might say, “I don’t even know how to pray the rosary on my own, much less make up my own meditations!”
FEAR NOT, my friends. I have compiled this printable rosary guide for you to use, which will guide you through the whole thing. As to the spontaneous meditations, they just come from taking a leap of faith and trusting in the Holy Spirit. You do know that the alternate spelling of faith is R-I-S-K, right? But seriously, you don’t have to have spontaneous meditations. I had no intention of doing them–they just bubbled up from somewhere down deep. So, follow your heart, and let the Holy Spirit take you on a new adventure! God wants to speak to you without a translator–just give Him a chance.
In the meantime, we plan to see you tomorrow morning on New Year’s Day at 7 am CT (an hour later than our usual time to account for midnight fireworks) on Instagram and YouTube. GOD IS GOOD!
All our love and prayers for a grace-filled 2021,
I agree with your decision completely. We all could use a little change-up. You have set us on a faith path and we need to go out in faith to do the week-ends on our own. You and Cecilia have brought me to a much fuller appreciation and dedication to the Rosary and our Blessed Mother. Thank you both for answering God’s call to “Go and Teach All Nations”. Amen, and again many blessings to you and your family in the New Year.
