A Living Rosary, or Sermon

I really love reading biographies. To read about people like ourselves become people of inspiration and wonder is one of the greatest joys of being able to read literature. I was reading Pauline Jaricots biography, and it occurred to me that in Oregon, do we have a Living Rosary society? To live the rosary, men and woman formed a group, The Living Rosary. Members would be assigned for a mystery in which they would pray daily. I do think that would be such a wonderful thing to found now, especially for the remission of sins, and for Iraq. Out of one rosary, we could save so many souls! How is it that such a thing as a Living Rosary isn't found in Oregon. We really should be ashamed. We have so many great examples as Pauline Jaricot, Fulton Sheen, St. John Paul II, we should be overjoyed and start right now! For children, we can devote ourselves to saying one decade each night for the bitter war in Iraq and for other intentions which are so dear to our hearts. Another great thing is, WE are never to late to start praying. In fact we are right on time! A family rosary grants each member a plenary indulgence if you say it with meaning in your heart. That is a condolence. We usually use our indulgences to free the soul who has been in Purgatory the longest. (Not that we are a perfect family though.) So as a family, and as friends, why don't we start saying a living rosary, every week? Lets try once and see how we do. Maybe with all of our fervent prayers, we can set Iraq free from the miserable invading. One meaningful Hail Mary means a lot to God.
