Aid to the Church in Need marks the 20th anniversary of its One Million Children Praying the Rosary campaign.
Rosary can change the world, pontifical charity urges before a million children pray.
(OSV News) — This October, over a million children around the world will lift their voices in prayer as pontifical charity Aid to the Church in Need marks the 20th anniversary of its One Million Children Praying the Rosary campaign. What began in 2005 as a small gathering in Venezuela has grown into a global movement reaching across every continent.
Cardinal Mauro Piacenza, ACN International president, described the campaign as a response to “a world wounded by division, conflict, and suffering.” He said the rosary “is neither a dry nor repetitive practice, but rather a gentle and strong path that leads us to the heart of the Gospel.”
He urged families to invite children to pray “so that the entire world may be embraced by this crown of light,” and added: “Let us pray together that the bonds of ecclesial communion, both affective and effective, may be strengthened, and that the Holy Spirit may awaken in the hearts of the young a sincere desire for holiness.”
