BRAZIL, Dalva and José Laerte Martins. Anyone who says that men don’t pray or don’t know how to pray is wrong! On 28 January, a very rainy Monday, more than 100 men met at the Santa Teresa de Jesus Church in Jaboticabal – SP to pray the rosary together with the parish priest.
Answering the invitation of Our Lady, Mother and Queen, many boys, young men, adults and elderly men came together with their rosaries in hand and prayed the Joyful Mysteries with faith and devotion as a symbol of their love and devotion to the Mother of God.
This initiative forms part of the Pilgrim Mother campaign which offered a poignant time of prayer and evangelisation for all those who were present. Those who participated enjoyed the experience, went home strengthened in their faith and commitment to the Church and promised to return on the last Monday in February.
Men do pray. They pray beautifully with devotion. They show their faith with strength and conviction. And all of them were attracted by the one whose only mission is to take us to Christ!
