PRAYER OF COMMITMENT

A MILLION ROSES FOR THE WORLD FILIPINOS AT PRAYER, PEACE FOR ALL NATIONS

ALMIGHTY GOD,
WE ADORE YOU AND WE PRAISE YOU
FOR BLESSING MARY AMONG ALL WOMEN
AND CREATING HER FULL OF GRACE.

THROUGH MARY,
WE RECEIVED JESUS YOUR SON
WHOSE BIRTH HAS MADE ALL THINGS NEW FOR US HERE ON EARTH.

WE SEEK YOUR BLESSING THROUGH HER PRAYING HANDS,
SO THAT PEACE MAY REIGN IN THE WORLD
AND HARMONY MAY BE ESTABLISHED AMONG ALL NATIONS.

I COMMIT TO PRAY THE ROSARY EVERYDAY,
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH MY FAMILY,
FOR EACH AND EVERY NATION ON EARTH
SO THAT WAR MAY END,
FAMINE MAY CEASE,
TERRORISM MAY STOP,
JUSTICE MAY REIGN
AND ONLY YOUR LOVE AND MERCY MAY PREVAIL.

I COMMIT TO LIVE IN THE STATE OF GRACE,
TO AVOID ALL OCCASIONS OF SIN
AND TO RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION
AS FREQUENTLY AS MY SITUATION MAY ALLOW
SO THAT YOUR NAME MAY BE GLORIFIED
AND ALL PEOPLES MAY KNEEL DOWN BEFORE YOU GOD OF PEACE
IN WORSHIP, ADORATION AND THANKSGIVING
NOW AND FOREVER.

AMEN

A MILLION ROSES FOR THE WORLD


A MILLION ROSES A DAY…FOR ALL PEOPLES…IN EVERY NATION…FILIPINOS AT PRAYER…REACHING OUT TO THE WORLD

In response to our theme for this year ―FRC Reaching Out to the World‖, the 60th National Assembly of the Family Rosary Crusade adopted by acclamation the Project that we are launching today:  A MILLION ROSES FOR THE WORLD.

We are enlisting One Million Filipinos to pray five decades of the Holy Rosary everyday from October 10, 2011 to May 30, 2012, each day from Monday to Saturday dedicated to one nation in the world while the Sunday Rosary if reserved for our own families and nation, the Philippines.

The goal is to bring all the people is all the nations of the world to Jesus and His Father and the Holy Spirit…through Mary Our Blessed Mother …to bring His Peace, Love, Joy and tranquility to every people and every nation, no matter how great or how small, as a gift of love, faith and goodwill from the people of the Philippines.

Pope Pius XI once said: ―Give me an army praying a million rosaries a day and we will conquer the world.  We are not out to conquer the world…but to save it for God to whom it rightly belongs.

In almost every nation in the world, the Catholic Church and its faithful is facing a confrontation against the evil forces of secularism.  The late Pope John Paul II, now Blessed, foretold this ―final confrontation with the Church and the anti-Church, the Gospel and the anti-Gospel‖ which he said would be ―the greatest battle in the history of the Church. Pope Benedict XVI has decried the spreading secularism in the Church.  He warns of threatening clouds in the horizon, and not for us to lose heart, but to keep the flame of hope alive amid the increasing apostasy.  The world needs our prayers.  And we need to pray also for our families and our own country.  

Let this be out contribution…Filipinos at Prayer…Reaching Out to the World…To All Peoples… In Every Nation…With Love and Brotherhood… in Faith, Joy and Goodwill…A World at Prayer is a World at Peace.
