THE POPE’S MONTHLY INTENTIONS January 2019

Evangelization: Young People

That young people, espcially in Latin America, follow the example of Mary and respond to the call of the Lord to communicate the joy of the Gospel to the world..

Rosary Prayer Intentions for January

(provided by Our Legions of Mary)

SPECIAL January Rosary Intentions: that the young people of

Latin America seek Mary’s power to share their most intimate beliefs of Jesus to others in their own country, as well as visitors from other lands…that young people who believe in the Church’s teachings, band together in order to proclaim more strongly their faith and beliefs to others – especially to those people who are in doubt of their faith…that young people , even if they are by themselves, seek the courage and power of the Holy Spirit and Mary, to stand up for their beliefs in the midst of public criticism and ridicule…that young children and teenagers attend CCD and church youth groups to gain accurate knowledge of their faith which will help fortify them, when alone or with others, to defend their beliefs and freely and unabashedly share the Holy Gospel with others…that parents, through their example and dialogue, help imbue in their progeny the courage and fortitude to share freely their beliefs with others. ON-GOING Personal Rosary Intentions Joyful Mysteries for the unborn, newly born, young children,

teenagers, families and friendships. Luminous Mysteries for the newly baptized, those receiving

confession and the Holy Eucharist for the first time, newlyweds and those already married – love/peace/unity – now and forever. Sorrowful Mysteries for the sick and suffering, the dying, the

oppressed, the tortured, the persecuted, the lonely, the abandoned and the depressed. Glorious Mysteries for the souls in purgatory, forgotten souls,

newly confirmed and ALL life, the intercession of Mary to Jesus for our daily intentions and the requested intentions of others.
