PRAY THE ROSARY


As Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler I ask all who read this to pray at least one Rosary daily for the last 21 days of July. This is a plea for the LIGHT OF CHRIST to shine brightly in these dark days of the 21st Century. Through the Rosary we implore the Immaculate Virgin Mary to bring her powerful prayers of intercession to the throne of God the Almighty Father.  

Through prayer and study I have come to a greater understanding of just how powerful the prayers of the IMMACULATE VIRGIN MARY are.  This is because God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit have ordained that she might be a woman and a virgin mother who interceeds for all of God's children.  

Please PRAY THE ROSARY and urge all you are in contact with to join us. We need to STORM THE HEAVENS with the Rosary reflecting on the Mysteries of the Life of Jesus Christ and repeating HAIL MARY, AVE MARIA.


PLEASE JOIN ME IN PRAYING AT LEAST ONE ROSARY DAILY FOR THE REST OF JULY.
