a message from the international director

Recently, Pope Francis emphasized the critical role of grandparents in family life. Many of our Ministry Centers have embraced this idea and have begun reaching out to grandparents, recognizing their vital support for widows, families, marriages, and children. The Rosary is a unifying prayer that transcends generations, bringing comfort and rhythm to even the youngest family members.

The presence of grandparents in children's lives is invaluable for infusing the mysteries of the Rosary into family experiences. They offer a wealth of love, support, and guidance that enrich the family environment. The interplay between generations weaves a tapestry of shared experiences where mutual support strengthens us all. Through the Rosary, we discover blessings that transcend time, fostering resilience and fortitude.

In the face of challenges like divorce, the intergenerational family offers stability and solace. The Rosary deepens our connections and equips us to face life's trials, fostering unity, strength, renewed purpose and meaning.

Let us wholeheartedly embrace the power of family unity and intergenerational bonds as we delve into the mysteries of the Rosary. Together, we will find inspiration and blessings, nurturing our families with love and unwavering support.

May abundant blessings be bestowed upon you all.
