An ever-spinning wheel of prayer designed when seven people each commit �one-rosary-a-week� for a priest or religious. Each person picks one day of the week and keeps that commitment for one year...or longer...preferably three. The prayer may be done any time or any place, but must be done once each week.
We pray the rosay prayer with Our Blessed Mother asking for the priest or religious to better know Jesus through her hands ~ the one who knows Him best.
For those who have experienced Marriage Encounter, you find that a couple
brings the "romance" back in their somewhat "disillusioned" relationship and begins to realize that their relationship is a threesome, including Jesus.
Mary Encounter (a little play on words) is especially designed to help the priest/religious find his/her Lady~through the healing power of the Rosary~to complete their threesome of Jesus, Mary and himself/herself.
We all experience "disillusionment" in our chosen vocations, so let's try to
remember the words of St. John Vianney, the Patron Saint of Parish Priests and
support our priests/religious in prayer:
Only priests whose people have not
prayed enough for them.�
Priests and Religious!
Take a look at the Mary Encounter form which can be printed out and used as both a sign up sheet and a gift that can be given to the priest or religious. Then give each person who signs up a St.Therese prayer reminder card.
