The Power of the Rosary -- even in Politics

This is a good idea.

The Saint Michael the Archangel Organization is attempting to organize one million people in the United States to pray the Rosary for unborn babies on Saturday, May 3.

Organizers of the prayer event, called One Million Rosaries for Unborn Babies, are asking participants to pray during the same 60-minute time span, beginning at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.

For more information, and to sign up, visit the St. Michael the Archangel site.

I signed up. It only takes a click; you don't have to enter your name or anything else.

This reminds me of the Lepanto Rosary campaign back in 2000; millions of people prayed the rosary for our country's return to a "Culture of Life". After weeks of battling over hanging chads and recounts, we inaugurated a pro-life President (a welcome change after eight long years of Clinton I), and the entire process was peaceful, without so much as a fist-fight.

Prayer is powerful.

Here's another recent example of the power of the rosary: "President of Columbia Attributes Avoidance of War to Intercession of Virgin Mary".

H/T about the Rosary Campaign to a good friend. If she had a blog, I'd link to it. :-)
