HIS BEATITUDE THANKS ALL WHO PRAY THE ROSARY DAILY

A “Pilgrimage with the Rosary” took place at the Patriarchal Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Kyiv. The pilgrimage during the Jubilee Year is an initiative of Zhyve TV, which was supported and blessed by His Beatitude Sviatoslav, Father and Head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. The prayer meeting of pilgrims from all over Ukraine and even from abroad was held on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the daily online prayer “The Rosary Unites.”

His Beatitude said that, “I would like to thank everyone who prays and unites in prayer, particularly in the “Rosary that Unites” initiative. I am especially grateful to Zhyve TV, which has created the space for this nationwide and global prayer of our Church. We thank our priests, rectors, nuns, various church movements, and communities in dozens of countries worldwide who have united in prayer and invited others to join them over the past five years. I am glad that I myself have been able to take part as one of the faithful in this all-church, [Churchwide] initiative.

[Ed. For five years now, thousands of Faithful from around the world have been gathering Online at 8:00 PM EVERY DAY [i.e. 10:00 AM in our New Westminster Eparchy]

He thanked the children in particular. “I thank our children, because we know that children pray together with their parents. In particular, I thank our children who have joined this initiative every month, on the thirteenth day, to pray the children’s rosary for Ukraine, for the conversion of Russia, for the end of the war, and for the salvation of human life. I thank you for defeating evil with your prayers, for stopping the enemy with your prayers, and for not allowing him to sow evil and death on our native Ukrainian land.

He acknowledged various calls to prayer – that of the Rosary in particular – that sprang up in October, the “Month of the Holy Rosary” and continue to spread. “And thank you to all those who heard the Pope’s call and, in particular, prayed the rosary in October. This Sunday, we are able to reflect on this time of prayer and thank all who responded in their hearts and truly stood together in prayer before God.”
