So many have said to us over the last few months that they have suddenly felt drawn to pray the Rosary. We do to and so this idea came about.
Enthusiasm and habits for this prayer can fluctuate in our lives. One month we are completely on the ball and say five decades or more a day with ease, the next you are lucky if you remember to say any at all!
We wanted to give you a little treasury of inspiration and encouragement over October so that you can return to it in times where your prayer is feeling dry.
We have asked 30 women from across Australia and NZ to write a reflection on one of the mysteries of the Rosary. Each reflection is written in the style of the woman writing. All we asked is that they pray and write what moved them. We are emailing these out to people who sign up for them during the month of October. We will post them up here after they have been sent out. If you would like to receive the emails too you can click here to sign up!
We will also link to a couple of our blog posts here which focus on the Rosary.
We hope that you find this project of ours helpful to your prayer life.

Creating a habit of prayer is hard! Which is good because that means it must be powerful, however we often need encouragement to keep it going. Click here to read this wonderful post from a great encourager, Mary Clare Meney.
This article which we started the month of October with, is by Sarah Mc Donald. It is a really personal reflection on the importance of the Rosary even when we we really don’t feel the connection.
On the feast of St Pope John Paul II Anna Krohn looked at this great champion of the Rosary and how this prayer is such a tangible link to our relationship with Christ.

There are a number of people who have cottage industries in various creative ways. We thought we would link to some of the people we know who make things to help us pray! If you know or are actually someone who would like a little promotion let us know.
