The World Mission Rosary

for my family and all the families of the world

Step Five

AFRICA ~ AMERICAS ~ EUROPE ~ OCEANIA ~ ASIA

Teachers and Parents,

Children love the World Mission Rosary and they love it more when they pray it for their families. We pray it during the Worldwide Children’s Eucharistic Holy Hour. Each of 5 Children lead a decade of the Rosary while dressed as a representative of one of the 5 continents. We hope you will consider this means of praying the Rosary for the families of the world, especially during the Holy Hour.

First decade – Green for Africa
The families of Africa and throughout the world will grow in the virtue of Hope.

Second decade – Red for the Americas
The families of the Americas and throughout the world will grow in their love for God and for one another.

Third decade – White for Europe
The families of Europe and throughout the world will grow in the virtue of purity.

Fourth decade – Blue for Oceania
The families of Oceania and throughout the world will grow in their love for the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Fifth decade – Yellow for Asia
The families of Asia and throughout the world will grow in Holiness.

Sister Lucia, the oldest of the three Little Shepherd children, left us a message on the power of the Rosary in these times.

“The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families… that cannot be solved by the Most Holy Rosary. Thee is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”
