On October 19, the Pope returned to his Catechesis on Prayer....
Dear brothers and sisters,
Today I would like to meditate with you on a psalm that summarizes the whole of salvation history as recounted for us in the Old Testament. It is a great hymn of praise that extols the Lord in the manifold, repeated manifestations of His goodness throughout the course of human history; it is Psalm 136 -- or 135 according to the Greco-Latin tradition.
A solemn prayer of thanksgiving known as the "Great Hallel," this psalm is traditionally sung at the end of the Hebrew Passover meal, and was probably also prayed by Jesus during the final Passover celebrated with the disciples; the Evangelists seem in fact to allude to it in their annotations: "And when they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives" (cf. Matthew 26:30; Mark 14:26). The horizon of praise thus illumines the difficult road to Golgotha. The whole of Psalm 136 takes the form of a litany marked by the refrain "for His steadfast love endures forever."
Throughout this poetic composition, God)

I have just left Manila where something important has just started. I really want you to know about it: <a href="http://www.millionrosesfortheworld.org/index.html">A MILLION ROSES FOR THE WORLD </a>is underway.
It may not be headline news all around the world but in the big picture it just as important as any news story today. In the airport I was looking at CNN: all sorts of bad news going in bad directions. A MILLION ROSES FOR THE WORLD IS GOOD NEWS that trusts in the Lord who will lead us to good.
Born in Manila, this campaign calls Filipinos all over the world the Rosary for Peace for 200 days until May 31, every day for a different country. That´s GOOD NEWS ABOUT SOMETHING POWERFUL!
The Lord says, ¨Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I¨. Unity in prayer is powerful!
There are already hundreds of thousands committed. The hope is soon to have a million praying - ¨a million roses¨. The call is particularly to Filipinos, but the organizers IN NO WAY want to exclude and are DELIGHTED to have the support of any and all brothers and sisters in this prayer! Maybe we could be 2 or even 10 million ¨roses¨!
PLEASE JOIN US! PLEASE HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER! LET OUR MOTHER MARY TEACH US TO PRAY!
All the information you need is on: <a href="http://www.millionrosesfortheworld.org/index.html">http://www.millionrosesfortheworld.org/index.html</a>

If you already pray the Rosary each day, this doesn´t mean you have to pray it twice. Rather unite yourself with the prayer of people around the world as you offer the Country of the Day in your daily Rosary.
A MILLION ROSES FOR THE WORLD is the inspiration of a number of leaders of the Church in the Philippines. It.jpg&w=120&h=120&zc=1&q=100){kind=logo}
