Mission of this Apostlate
Universal Living Rosary Association
"The aim of the Living Rosaryis to ask God, through the
intercession of Our Lady of the Rosary, for the conservation of the Faith in Catholic countries, the conversion of sinners,
the strengthening of the just, and the exaltation of the Holy Church.The people who join together for this pious
exercise, divide among themselves the recitation of the prayers of the entire Rosary, and divide into groups of 15, in
honor of the 15 principal mysteries of our redemption. Their intention is to
form, by the union of their hearts, as so many living rosaries which unceasingly
recall to the Celestial Father the sign of salvation manifested to St. Dominic by the Mother of Mercies.
After Our Lady of the Rosary, the Association recognizes and honors as its mediatrix
before God, the illustrious Virgin and Martyr, St. Philomena, named by the Sovereign Pontiff, protectress of the Living
Rosary."
Everything that happens occurs for a reason. It was no accident that God chose
the soul of the Blessed Pauline Marie Jaricott to form the
Universal Living Rosary Association for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and in honor of Saint Philomena. Each of us is called to serve God
and it is no accident that you are being called to help further this sacred
mission.
We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are
called according to his purpose.. Pauline, a young and very pious French girl, dedicated herself to the heart
and love of Jesus and gave the Church one of the greatest works when she founded
the Society for the Propagation of the Faith (missionary work) and the Association of
the Living Rosaryy. Her immense desire to love and her thirst
to possess God, inspired her to act for His Glory.
Jesus died for all men! Why weaken our hearts with less noble
desires?? -- Blessed Pauline Marie Jaricott The Living Rosary Association was Pauline’s inspired plan to save the Church in France and encourage everyone to learn
their faith through Catholic books. The association began its devotion of distributing fifteen decadess of the
Rosary to fifteen persons in several parishes on Dec. 8, 1826. The association was formally approved by
Pope Gregory XVI and accorded canonical status on Jan. 27, 1832. On Dec. 8, 1986, Richard and Patricia Joann Melvin, married for more than 30 years, began a revival of Pauline Jaricot’s Living Rosary lay apostolate in an effort to honor Our Blessed Mother and
St. Philomena. What originated with less than 30 people dedicated to praying a daily decade of the Rosary (some took more than on decade) has grown to more than 11 million devoted Christians around the
world, all praying their dedicated decade of the Rosary each day of every year.
Today, over 12 million
souls,,
faithful servants, are joined worldwide through the Living Rosary
and united with Mary in prayer one decade at a time to hasten the triumph of
Her Immaculate Heart and to bring about the Reign of Jesus Christ the King.. For centuries, our cherished Catholic faith has been passed from
person to person, parent to child, etc. Each of us carries in our heart a
special memory of how God first graced us with the knowledge of the faith and
how Our Blessed Mother, Saint Philomena, Blessed Pauline Jaricot and
other saints changed our lives and brought us closer to Christ..
In our work in the Universal Living Rosary Association, we see first hand
how millions of souls are currently living without that knowledge of God and are
living outside of His grace. We have been given a beautiful opportunity to carry
out Christ's work and pass on our faith and blessings to others who would
otherwise never be introduced to Our Lord, the Savior of all mankind. Just as we
pray for the souls in Purgatory who have no one to pray for them, we should also
make it a part of our life's mission to pass on our faith to as many souls as
possible who have no one else to pass it on to them, who don't know Our Lord and
His promise of salvation..
This is the box we send to the Foreign Missions: on your behalf. You donate the shipping, which brings the total to: $115. It contains
Rosaries, Scapulars, Miraculous Medals, Cord & Oil,
Newsletters, Calendars, Catechism books, 2 TAN books, large color prints, lists
and encouragement for our Promoters.. Pope Leo XIII said, "There is nothing more excellent than that numerous voices pray without interruption from
all parts of the world, simultaneously lifting up supplications to the Blessed Virgin Mary as they meditate on the mysteries of the Holy
Rosary."
Say the Rosary every day, to obtain peace for the world.. The Living Rosary is a continuation of the Rosary given to St. Dominic by Our Blessed Mother, while he was
combating the Albigensian heresy in the South of France, during the thirteenth century. Our Blessed Mother asked St. Dominic to spread devotion to Christ by saying
the Rosary and meditating on the life of Christ, each and every day.
May Christ dwell in our hearts through faith, and may charity be the
root and foundation of our life.. Following the example of the Blessed Pauline Jaricot, who founded the work
of "a penny a week" for the Propagation of the Faith, you and your family may
also consider dedicating monetary support equivalent to a meal a month or other
offering to the Living Rosary/. The majority of the members of the Living
Rosaryy are in third world countries. Every donation received goes directly
back into this universal and heroic missionary effort through the
distribution of Catholic literature, holy cards and sacramentals such as the
holy oil of St. Philomena. Universal Living Rosary Association of Saint Philomen is a nonprofit Corporation 501(c)(3)
charitable organization and as such we automatically give "Tax Receipts" to all
those who make a financial donation. For those who donate $100 or more, a
"TRIDUUM of MASSES" will be arranged for the donor and his/her family. Thirty
dollars of every $100 donated supports the missionary who will offer these
masses. Through your help, the prayers of the missions will continue to work
miracles in the lives of all of its members and families, thus strengthening the
Mystical Body of Christ. Another option is to donate $50 to cover
the flat rate to send a parcel of materials and sacramentals to the missions
abroad. God bless you for your generosity. Please support the missions by donating Rosaries, Scapulars, old missals,
medals, holy cards. To the missions, nothing goes to waste and all is placed
carefully with a reliable catechist or missionary. send to:
