"What we would like to do is change the world — make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended them to do. But the more we do, the more we realize that the most important thing is to love."
— Dorothy Day

Unique Web Rosary Focuses on Mission

In the Holy Fathers message for World Mission Sunday he calls on all the faithful to pray the Rosary. Our Los Angeles Mission Office has added a special section to our web page for a World Mission Rosary. (This will also be available on CD). Images of missions and missionaries punctuate our reflections on the life of Christ lived throughout the world. We offer this to the community of faithful as a way to pray the Rosary daily or anytime, as a people reminded that our baptism unites us — we remember always that we are baptized for the world.
