Subject: Good Friday Rosary

I received the following email today. It sounds like a great idea to me. If you agree please copy and email to all of your praying friends and acquaintances. Together we may make a difference! I did take advantage and added a link to our rosary website.

Are you aware there is an initiative to unite all Catholics in prayer on Good Friday between Noon and 3pm?

Everyone is aware of the downward moral spiral we are all caught up in which seems to be touching every aspect of our lives. Please consider praying with us to bring peace to the world and protection to those who are most in need of our protection, like the homeless, the elderly, children and young people, and the unborn.

There is a great deal to gain and absolutely nothing to lose!

Imagine what might happen if every Catholic in the world would pray a Rosary on the same day! We have an example in October of 1573, when Europe was saved from the invasion of the mighty Turkish fleet, by the praying of the Rosary by all Christians!

So, on Good Friday, let us all pray a Rosary for peace in the world and the return of moral values into our communities. If possible, please pray your Rosary between Noon and 3:00pm.

Also, please e-mail this message to every Catholic on your address list, and ask them to pass it along to every Catholic on their lists. Let's unite in praying one of the most powerful prayers in existence, for these intentions, on one of the holiest days in our Church year.

There is a good on line scriptural rosary at http://www.scripturalrosary.org.

God bless you all,

Audio Rosaries Reviewed

I received the following message today. If anyone out there can help... please do so!

"I tried to pray an audio rosary tonight but it would not load. I'm wondering if it's because my new computer is an Apple product, whereas my other computer is a Microsoft product. Or is there a problem with the audio on the site? Thank you for your website. I come to it almost every day to pray the rosary. God Bless you all."

My initial thought is what default audio player is used. Perhaps all that is required is the download of a different player. To my best knowledge, the audio rosaries work with Windows Media Player, Real Audio and Quick Time Audio.

Please let us know if downloading a new player works with your new computer. Everyone else, please offer your suggestions in the comment section.

Thanks!

More Ways To Share!

Whenever you feel the urge there are a few opportunities to share your thoughts. You can always sign the guestbook and leave a comment. You can give feedback and have it posted on this page as long as you give permission to publish your comments. You can post a comment on the poll, even if you've already taken the poll. If you like, you can submit feedback and request it be shared on this blog. The blog would be a good place to share a good story, perhaps a trip to Medjugore, Fatima or Lourdes.

I welcome your comments. Many have already provided feedback to make the rosary site better. Thank you!

And as always, thanks for your prayers and continued support!

Adoration Of The Blessed Sacrament

Rae from Navarre Florida shared the following with me recently:

Thank you so much for your site.  I prayed with your audio version of the Scriptural Rosary today.  I was able to pray while adoring the blessed sacrament online.  If interested, 2 choices for online adoration are available at http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/pea/addition.html - both your site and theirs are wonderful resources available for the homebound!  Thanks be to God.  O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea with us Rae!

Thank You Groups!

The numbers continue to increase and this week a big part of that is people that are praying the rosary in a group. Through Friday we have had 15 groups add their rosary prayers to the total count. The largest group submitted 56 rosaries prayed.

The group submission button is a little below the individual submission button on the closing prayers page.

Yesterday tied the record for rosaries prayed in a single day at 109. This week has already beaten last week's record for most rosaries prayed in a single week. If you don't already know, you can keep track of the count at this page. You can find the link towards the bottom of the main page (Beginning Prayers Page) on the right hand side. The link says "Rosary Count".

Thanks to all for your continued support of the site and its mission. I hope everyone is enjoying their walks with Jesus and Mary in the Most Holy Rosary of Our Blessed Mother.

God Bless,

Bill

Using The Audio Rosaries...

I received an email yesterday from Lori stating that the audio rosary was not working, in particular the Sorrowful Mysteries. A quick investigation on my desktop computer indicated that all of the audio rosaries were working fine. I used both Internet Explorer and FireFox browsers on my desktop computer. In addition, I had received many submitted audio rosaries yesterday so it appeared to be working for others as well.

Today I decided to test my laptop computer. I did run into a problem. The audio did not appear properly and it did not work. I noticed I had a message at the top of my screen. It indicated that Windows Media Player wanted to run an add on. My permission was needed to run the add on. I allowed it and the audio rosary immediately appeared. It worked perfectly.

Thank you Lori for pointing out an issue that I am sure others have run into as well. I hope this fix works for anyone that has experienced the same problem. Please let us know with a comment to this blog post.

By the way, the audio rosaries are set up to work with Windows Media Player, Real Audio Player and Quick Time Audio Player so everyone should be able to utilize the audio rosaries if they wish.

Thanks again Lori for your help. I hope everyone feels comfortable to send me feed back whenever they would like. Many people have offered help and it only serves to make the site better. I really appreciate it.

Bill
