The Rosary, Uniquely Catholic - 2024-06-23

June 30, 2024

Even nonbelievers recognize the Rosary as Catholic. So, thank you again for your prayers and other support for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort.

Early in the session, a woman stopped to accept a Rosary “because her 8-year-old grandson was interested in becoming Catholic”. May God bless the boy with Faith and lead his whole family to salvation!

A family stopped so the child (3 or 4 years old) could choose a Rosary “for his grandmother”. May the grandmother’s prayers for the salvation of her family be heard and answered!

Someone else wanted a Rosary “for a friend who is Catholic”. May his act of charity awaken his own faith!

One person didn’t want a Rosary, but asked for an Our Lady Untier of Knots prayer card.

A pair of bicyclists (in their late teens or early 20s) stopped for a Rosary apiece. One of the boys told us that they had “found one of [our] Rosaries by the river” and had taken it home, but would like to have one to keep with him. We marveled at how they knew the Rosary was from our apostolate. May Our Lord enkindle in them a true devotion to Mary, and may she lead them both to Jesus and the salvation that is from Him alone.

One woman, here from a conservative state, was heading to work and wanted a Rosary.

A shirtless man, with tattoos from head to waist, rode by on his bike. Then he swung back around and came to the table. His religious ideas were unclear, but he wanted a Rosary so he “could give it to someone who needed hope and encouragement”. Pray that he and the people he speaks with put their faith, hope, and love in Jesus Christ, Our Risen Savior.

A Catholic woman from out of state, who was killing time before her job as a flight attendant, stopped for a Rosary. Pray that, as she travels, she is intentional about spending time with God in prayer and worship.

A gender-confused 20-something man stopped to pick out a Rosary. He didn’t say much but did nod his head that he was familiar with the Rosary. Pray that he will listen to the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ, ignore the lies of the fallen world, and find healing and peace.

The weather was especially hot last week, although God sent a light breeze through the corridor where we set up. Foot traffic was especially light, especially after solar noon, but we were able to give away 12-15 Rosaries and its pamphlet on how to pray it, as well as an Our Lady Untier of Knots prayer card.

Please pray for us again today? Ask God to send people to us with hearts prepared to perceive their need for Our Savior Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church, and that much good fruit for His Kingdom comes of today’s efforts.

The Rosary is as powerful as ever. So, thank you again for your prayers and other support for this apostolate. In turn, may God protect and greatly bless you and all those you love!
