Dio ShreveportToday is the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima!
In 1917, the Blessed Mother appeared to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal on the 13th day of each month from May to October. She urged the children to pray the Holy Rosary daily and to make sacrifices on behalf of sinners.This month, Bishop Malone invites all of us to pray the Rosary as a community of faith. Last May, we collectively prayed over 11,000 rosaries! Your rosary counts — whether prayed individually or with others, at home or in community. Let’s come together, as 40,000 Catholics strong, to pray 20,000 rosaries this May!
Your prayers matter — each rosary prayed is a step closer to growing in faith and devotion. Together, we’ll pray for:
Intention: For an increase of belief in the True Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Intention: For families to cultivate the planting of the spirit for vocations in their children through prayer and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
Intention: For greater attendance and participation in the sacrifice of the Mass.
Intention: For a greater awareness and understanding of the Blessed Mother’s role in our lives of faith through an increase in devotion to her.
Intention: For our parish communities to become true Disciples of Christ, in word and deed, as we give witness of our faith to others.
Please log your rosaries and share your prayer journey with us at http://www.dioshpt.org. Together, we can make a powerful impact through our prayers.
