FROM THE CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF SAN ANGELO:

Pope Francis has called for people around the world to join him in praying the Rosary today, Thursday, March 19, at 3 p.m. Central Time:

Pope Francis said:

“Every family, every member of the faithful, every religious community: All of us spiritually united tomorrow (Thursday) at 9 pm in praying the Rosary, the Luminous Mysteries.

Mary — Mother of God, and Health of the Sick, to whom we direct the Rosary, under the loving gaze of St. Joseph, Protector of the Holy Family, and our families — brings us to the luminous and transfigured Face of Christ and his Heart.

And we ask that he especially protect our families, in particular the sick and those who care for them: doctors, nurses, and volunteers, who risk their lives in this service.”
