the individual devotion of isolated souls is often a spark in the middle of darkness without the influence of a flame. Through our union of charity in praying the Living Rosary, we ‘inject’ this spiritual remedy into the souls of others as ‘Spiritual Medicine’. In this way, those who are strong uphold the weak; those who are fervent inspire the lukewarm; the spiritually rich enrich the poor: Bring them ALL together and You have a furnace!
One who prays the Rosary alone receives the graces and merits of one Rosary but, if he is united with TEN million others, he gains the graces and merits of the whole!
Write and send us your name. We will build a list of 15 and send you the Mystery you are assigned to pray daily. Your Decade may be offered at any time of the day or night, and in any place.
Our common intention remains: The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

As Biographer of Venerable Pauline-Marie Jaricot, Foundress of the Living Rosary, I have encouraged Patti Melvin in her beautiful work. The Living Rosary, of which she is actually the animator, is a work blessed by God. She counts more than 60,000 associates in 40 countries of the world, with 8,670 in Kenya. Continue with fervour, discretion and strength your intelligent apostolate! St. Philomena bestows upon you God’s precious blessings and help. In Union of prayers in Jesus and Holy Mary, His Mother, Thank God for the spread of the Living Rosary which will be the mightiest army we have! It is Our Lady’s weapon and so we are sure of our heavenly Mother being like an army in battle array. She has saved Christianity many times in the past. We must believe that she has the same attitude now.

Your dedication to the Rosary is exemplary and one I wish to encourage you to maintain. God bless all of you! Archbishop’s Residence Sakonnakhon THAILAND This letter is to verify the Church status of the Universal Living Rosary Association located in the Houston-Galveston Diocese with their Center situated in Dickinson, Texas. The family has been known to me for many years. Their Central Office on Holly Street is the hub of great missionary activity which reaches the Catholic Church throughout the world, serving the faithful through the prayer association of the Holy Rosary and providing sacramentals and leaflets along with the printed publication of Dedicated Decades in many different languages. The work is done in a quiet and humble way, within the diocese. In our day and age of war and unrest, it is a great source of grace and strength for all Christians. Fr. Jose Fernandez, Director St. Paul Cursillo Center Diocese Galveston – Houston Texas I inform you with joy that more and more believers of our diocese wish to share with you this precious devotion. We would like to construct the Church of the Living Rosary in Uzhhorod (Ukraine).

I have given full approval and support to Fr. Dominic Jude for the spread of the Living Rosary in the Diocese of Lashio; not only that, I requested him to put my name in the list of the members.
I feel privileged for being entrusted with a Decade previously belonging to another brother Bishop who has already reached the Father’s Home. I do hold the prayer of the Rosary in great esteem and take every opportunity for encouraging the faithful to recite it daily in their families and with the community.
