From the Pope and our St. Pius X Family

Good Morning St. PIus X Family, Pope Francis has asked that we join together in praying the Rosary at 3:00 PM our time.  See below for his message. At the end of the general audience March 18, the pope said he is joining the initiative promoted by the Italian bishops to pray the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary at 9pm (Italian time)  [3pm our time] on March 19, the feast of St. Joseph. Presumably, this initiative will gain ground across the globe, with each time zone joining in and creating a chain of prayer. Every family, every member of the faithful, every religious community: All of us spiritually united tomorrow (Thursday) at 9 pm in praying the Rosary, the Luminous Mysteries. Mary — Mother of God, and Health of the Sick, to whom we direct the Rosary, under the loving gaze of St. Joseph, Protector of the Holy Family, and our families — brings us to the luminous and transfigured Face of Christ and his Heart. And we ask that he especially protect our families, in particular the sick and those who care for them: doctors, nurses, and volunteers, who risk their lives in this service. The Luminous Mysteries are explained on this site from the University of Dayton. udayton.edu/imri/mary/... This is surely one way we can be united in prayer! Blessings to you all! Dr. Cheryl
