I just wanted to jump in and encourage you to join in the National 54 Day Rosary Novena. If you aren't sure what that is, it is a series of 6 novenas of rosaries. The first 27 days are days of petition and the second 27 days are days of thanksgiving.
The novena starts today, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and ends on October 7th, the Feast of the Rosary. How providential that these two Marian feast days are 54 days apart! Coincidence? I think not.
If you've been wanting to start praying the rosary together as a family, then now would be a great time to start. This website has all of the information about the national novena, including the intention and the prayers (in case you are unsure of how to pray it). You can even sign up to get email reminders, which I did, of course!
Happy Feast day and I hope you'll join in this national effort to bring our country back to God.
God Bless!
