The occasional, often ill-considered thoughts of a Roman Catholic permanent deacon who is ever grateful to God for his existence. Despite the strangeness we encounter in this life, all the suffering we witness and endure, being is good, so good I am sometimes unable to contain my joy. Deo gratias!

World Youth Day Rosary Campaign

Have you been thinking about praying the Rosary daily during Lent, but just haven't got started? Maybe you need a little encouragement? If so, the organizers of the upcoming World Youth Day 2011, which will take place in Madrid this August, might have just the thing to give a lift to your spiritual life and at the same time help the youth of the world recognize and accept what God is calling them to do.

The organizers have proposed a "Universal Rosary" effort, hoping that millions of Catholics will begin praying the Rosary daily with the prayer intention that young people will accept their vocations. They are also asking people to send in videos of themselves or others praying the Rosary. They're looking for MP4 videos of people from all over the world praying one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.

It sounds like a pretty good way to add some prayer to your life during the remaining weeks of Lent. Here's a link for more information: Universal Rosary
