The Rosary as Prayer - 2024-12-08

December 15, 2024

We encourage people to actually pray the Rosary. So, thank you again for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort. Two evangelists were available.

Two teenage girls stopped for a Rosary. They weren’t familiar with the devotion and they weren’t Christian. The evangelists proclaimed the Good News/kerygma to them, and they chose a Rosary apiece. May God speak to their hearts and save them!

The face-blind evangelist accidently offered “the merchant” a Rosary, which, of course, he accepted. A group of four came to the table about the same time, so we described the devotion and set them each up with their own Rosary. May God use the Rosaries to draw each of these people to prayer and to Him and the salvation that only He can offer!

A dad with a young daughter went by, shaking his head no thank you to our offer. Then, a few minutes later, as we were finishing up with another group, they came back. I think the child’s father was familiar with the Rosary already. So, we set them both up with one and encouraged them to pray it as a family. May God bless them both!

Two families, with two children each, both stopped. We set everyone up with a Rosary and encouraged them to pray it together daily. May God bless and save them, and all families.

A 30-something man stopped for a Rosary, saying he had one at home but wanted one for his car. We encouraged him to use the Rosary for prayer, extolling its benefits. May God draw him to pray with the Rosary and, through meditating on its Mysteries, get to know the God Who loves him so much!

The weather was damply cold, although the sun did come out during the last half hour of the session. Still, relatively few people ventured outside and past our table. Even so, we gave away 15-20 Rosaries and its pamphlet on how to pray it, 2 “Do I Need a Savior?” pamphlets, 1 Divine Mercy prayer card, and 1 Our Lady un-tier of Knots prayer card.

Please pray for us again today? Ask God to send people to us with their 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.

We recognize the importance of actually praying the Rosary, and try to pass that idea on. 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!
