EMAIL ROSARY.NETWORK
"Let us gather into an assembly and congregation that we may, as it were,
make up a band and solicit God ...."  (Tertullian)

"WHAT IS THE EMAIL ROSARY NETWORK?
The Rosary.Network is a living rosary that - bead by unlinked bead - is surrounding the earth with prayer.  Each bead represents one person who prays the prayer next to their name - as often as they find their reminder in their pocket. As the list of these little prayers, beads and names grows, it eventually forms a full rosary. This 'busy day prayer' is leading some into saying a decade while driving - others - the whole rosary. )

"As the various mysteries present themselves one after the
other in the formula of the Rosary for the meditation and contemplation of men's minds, they also elucidate what we owe to Mary for our reconciliation and salvation."
(Pope Leo XIII ON THE ROSARY -
FIDENTEM PIUMQUE ANIMUM SEPTEMBER 20, 1896)

ITS PURPOSE?
The purpose is for unity and oneness in the broken body of Christ.  We are especially called to reconciliation and unity in this new year of 2000. As each one of us says our single prayer, we believe Mary herself will string the prayers onto a string of trust - into a circular garden or garland of roses which will be presented to her son, Jesus Christ.

As others are healed - we are healed. As we are healed - the Body of Christ is healed. Think how your prayer supports and encourages and brings peace to those in need. Think how your prayer is supported by others as it is presented in heaven to Jesus by Mary herself.

"If two of you shall consent upon earth concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by My Father who is in heaven. For where there are two or three gathered in My name, there am I in their midst.
(Matt.18:19, 20).

HOW DO I PRAY?
You may pray for anyone or anything you want or need- but the prayer of the faithful - intercessory prayer will be the most powerful. Pray for the ill - for world peace - the end of the killing of the unborn - for our youth - our families. Pray for John Paul II and our bishops, priests, sisters and all religious that their lives and ours are blessed - through a deeper experiential relationship with Christ. Pray for loved ones who have died, especially when they come to mind.
Dont know anyone? Do as our priest does - open up the phone book and pray for those whose names are on that page. If you feel the Lord leads you in any particular way - go with Him in prayer or to any person who comes to mind.

"It is impossible that the prayers of many should not
be heard, if one prayer is made up as it were out of many supplications." (Thomas Aquinas)
 

HOW DO I SIGN UP?
Email your name and address along with your thoughts and you will receive notice where your name will appear  as an Ave Maria, Paternoster, or Glory Be etc. You will also know the Mystery for meditation.

(beadsong@hotmail.com)
 

THEN WHAT DO I DO?
As soon as your receive email confirmation from the Guild of your bead placement, please, begin praying.  Use an object - such as a personal memento to take the place of the bead. Put  it into your pocket or with your change. When you find it, say your rosary prayer - as many times as you feel you should.  Your extra prayer will cover for another who is unable to pray at this time.  We only need your first name, Last initial and state or country:  eg:  Mary T (NM)

(We smiled over some of the beads we use to send - as they were not to our liking, but as some one commented, ‘Neither is our sin in the eyes of God!'.
 

MISSING A BEAD?
Since we had problems with our lumpy beads not going through the PO system we took the advice of one of the pray-ers to use a memento that has meaning to you. You have come up with some wonderful ideas and hope you continue sharing them with us.

BUTTONS - BEADS - COINS - NAILS - PERSONAL MEMENTOS

Often items that belong(ed) to a loved one who you are praying for - much better than anything we could come up with from here.  Thank you for your patience.  We are blessed by your presence in the rosay.

 START A ROSARY.NETWORK IN YOUR PARISH?
It is very simple to do. Collect 59 beads or items such as listed above and make a sign-up sheet for your friends, community or parish family. Assign each a bead a name and a prayer. Simply follow the general guidelines above and begin.  It is already being done by many others.  Whose idea was this?  We belive the Blessed Virgin requested this herself.  In prayer, it was formed at the worktable of the rosary workshop.  Small fragments of information were given each of the guild members and we gathered them together .  It grew from there.  It belongs to her.  We would enjoy hearing from you and how your blessings have grown.
Ours have - thanks be to God!
 

THE ROSARY.NETWORK
Why is the rosary so powerful? When you pray the rosary, you are praying the gospel.
When you pray the gospel, you are entering into the Living Word of God.
When you enter into the Living Word God, miracles happen.

 I'm a Catholic convert/revert and am struggling with Mary, but am at the same time drawn to Mary, drawn to

 I ask that I walk in the path that God wants me too, and that I can listen to what he is trying to tell me, and that if I can't hear that he speak a little louder so I can have understanding, knowledge and spiritual growth.

My dear Jesus, before the Holy Trinity, Our Heavenly Mother, and the whole Heavenly Court, united with your Most Precious Blood and your sacrifice on Calvary, I hereby offer my whole life to the intention of your Sacred Heart and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Together with my life I place at your disposal all Holy Masses, all my Holy Communions, all my good deeds, all my sacrifices, and the sufferings of my entire life for the adoration and supplication of the Holy Trinity, for unity in our Holy Mother Church, for the Holy Father and priests, for good priestly vocations, and for all souls until the end of the world. Oh My Jesus, please accept my life sacrifice and my offerings and give me your grace that I may persevere obediently until my death. Amen.

MYSTERIES OF LIGHT 2.4
Rosary #2.4

I am a convert. When I was a child, I taught myself to pray the rosary. Finally, on the eve of my 51st birthday two years ago (Easter Vigil 2001), I was received into the Church. I believe that Our Lady kept praying for me until I finally became Catholic. Now I am praying for my family. My husband is in RCIA this year. But, there are my 5 sons ages 18 to 30. Perhaps Our Mother will also pray them into the Church.

 How should I pray?
Again, from petitions and forgiveness to thanksgiving and praise.
Our prayers are linked into one another in such a way as to invite the great and healing
mystery of God's love.  It also gives to the oneness that fulfills the body of Christ.
 

... we've moved! ..
You know, I didn't recognize that this was the same site I signed up for almost TWO YEARS ago! I have been praying my prayer, but I think you need to change me, just for fun. If you have time anyway. I'm the Crucifixion Glory Be, on the First Rosary. I was Cynthia S. of Ohio. Now I'm Cynthia S. of Indiana. It's good to see that you have kept up the good work and your site is really beautiful.   Affectionately In Jesus, Cynthia

... becoming a bead ...
My husband and I are very interested in becoming beads! What a great idea! I also liked "Jennifer's" idea of using it for her parish. Greg and I lead the prayer team for the Apostolic Oblates young adult CHOICES retreats. We think this would be a wonderful addition to our 'folder of ideas to use'.   Jen and Greg G (NE)

We heard about you on www.catholicity.com. This is wonderful!!  Diana H. (OK)

... for our church parish ...
Re visited your website to check on the other listings and read about the Rosary Network...of course
I would like to participate. Wondered if you would mind me borrowing the idea for my church parish...after all...the world needs all the prayer it can get! What a wonderful idea for group participation. I will include your website address with each bead distributed. JB (USA)
 

... suspending the laws of nature through prayer ...
We have never seen such power released through natural disasters  and terrorism as we have seen during the presidency of George Bush. No leader of our nation has ever had so much on his shoulders. (We thank the Lord that our president turns to the Lord for guidance.)  When his brother Florida Governor Jeb Bush, first heard of the Asian tsunami, he "began to pray the Mysteries." It's a lesson for us all. At the apparition site of Medjugorje the Blessed Mother said that "with prayer and fasting you can stop wars and even suspend the laws of nature."
+
We must not forget that what is said above is totally true, especially after hearing about the pastor who commanded the tsunami wave to stop 'in the name of Jesus'  - and it did - saving a boatload of orphans from certain death. Pray for our President, pray for the earth and those of the earth and the weather to be at peace.  And we thank you Lord for a president who turns to you, may our government hear your voice and follow it in their work.
